54 Chapter 3. Installing Red Hat Linux

• Using the CD-ROM to boot, type linux rescue at the boot: prompt.

• By booting your system from an installation boot diskette made from the boot.img image. This

method requires that the Red Hat Linux CD-ROM #1 be inserted as the rescue image or that the

rescue image be on the hard drive as an ISO image. Once you have booted using this diskette, type

linux rescue at the boot: prompt.

• By booting from a network diskette made from the bootnet.img or PCMCIA boot diskettes made

from pcmcia.img. Once you have booted using this diskette, type linux rescue at the boot:

prompt. You can only do this if your network connection is working. You will need to identify the

network host and transfer type. For an explanation of how to specify this information, see Section

3.7.

For more information, refer to the Ofﬁcial Red Hat Linux Customization Guide.

3.20.3. Alternative Boot Loaders

If you do not wish to use a boot loader, you have several alternatives:

Boot diskette

You can use the boot diskette created by the installation program (if you create one).

LOADLIN

You can load Linux from MS-DOS. Unfortunately, this requires a copy of the Linux kernel (and

an initial RAM disk, if you have a SCSI adapter) to be available on an MS-DOS partition. The

only way to accomplish this is to boot your Red Hat Linux system using some other method (for

example, from a boot diskette) and then copy the kernel to an MS-DOS partition. LOADLIN is

available from

ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/dualboot/

and associated mirror sites.

SYSLINUX

SYSLINUX is an MS-DOS program very similar to LOADLIN. It is also available from

ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/loaders/

and associated mirror sites.

Commercial boot loaders

You can load Linux using commercial boot loaders. For example, System Commander and Parti-

tion Magic are able to boot Linux (but still require GRUB or LILO to be installed in your Linux

root partition).

Note

Boot loaders such as LOADLIN and System Commander are considered to be third-party boot load-

ers and are not supported by Red Hat.
