Configuration in initrd ¶
/conf/conf.d/*
command line options can override values set here
What is the intent here? This is only used from modules.d/95iscsi/iscsiroot and nowhere else.
Quoted 5 lines
Network ¶
* ip=[dhcp|on|any]
o get ip from dhcp server from all interfaces
o If root=dhcp, loop sequentially through all interfaces (eth0, eth1, ...) and use the first with a valid DHCP root-path.
dhcp and any seem to do the same thing. Get rid of any?
Quoted 4 lines
* ip=<interface>:[dhcp|on|any]
o get ip from dhcp server on a specific interface
* ip=[none|off]
o no TCP/IP network
What is the point of this? When is this ever useful?
Quoted 6 lines
* ip=<client-IP-number>:<gateway-IP-number>:<netmask>:<client-hostname>:<interface>:[dhcp|on|any|none|off|]
o explicit network configurationrdbreak=[pre-udev|pre-mount|mount|pre-pivot|]
drop the shell on defined breakpoint
It isn't clear from this syntax how to make it break in two particular places. Please clarify.

This is intended to be a mechanism to inject (sensible) configuration files in the pregenerated image.
We could use this globally, if more modules need this.

This is "legacy" from kernel nfsroot. We should keep this for compatibility.

ip=[none|off] doesn't make any sense at all. Can be removed IMHO.

ip none and off are mentioned here as well, although it seems ambiguous as to the purpose.
