govenor,
How many of those options can I add?
none
Why don't I have quotes around my entries?
the code with the quotes are parameters written for rEFInd by Barry for use in EasyOs. Refind is a bootloader used in earlier versions of EasyOs, and these parameters are mentioned in the post above as a reference for those using EasyOs and upgrading to Limine. The quotes are not needed in a limine.cfg
bootloaders are not distro specific. A good bootloader should be able to boot any distro. Most bootloaders have different syntax or rules for specifying boot parameters, but the parameters themselves are specific to the distro being booted.
Please look at the resources I pointed to in the other thread for fossa parameters. Questions about supplying the correct parameters for your use case in fossa are better asked in the fossapup forum. It may be that once your needed fossa parameters are established, questions about help with the proper syntax may be better addressed here.
for instance,
should you want to boot with a different savefile, perhaps located in a different folder, and your fossapup init is not finding it, there should be a fossapup parameter that could help. It needs to be included in a second stanza which you would add to your limine.cfg resulting in something like...
Code: Select all
QUIET=no
TIMEOUT=20
GRAPHICS=no
DEFAULT_ENTRY=1
EDITOR_ENABLED=yes
INTERFACE_BRANDING=EasyOS Limine Boot Manager
:Puppy Linux fossapup64 (partition nvme0n1p1, path fossapup64_9.5)
PROTOCOL=linux
KERNEL_CMDLINE=psubdir=fossapup64_9.5 pmedia=ataflash
KERNEL_PATH=hdd://1:1/fossapup64_9.5/vmlinuz
MODULE_PATH=hdd://1:1/fossapup64_9.5/initrd.gz
:Puppy Linux fossapup64 (partition nvme0n1p1, path fossapup64_9.5) savefile2
PROTOCOL=linux
KERNEL_CMDLINE=psubdir=fossapup64_9.5 psave=nvme0n1p1/fossapup64_9.5/pupsave/fossapup64save-1-1.4fs pmedia=ataflash
KERNEL_PATH=hdd://1:1/fossapup64_9.5/vmlinuz
MODULE_PATH=hdd://1:1/fossapup64_9.5/initrd.gz
I am not sure about the validity of the psave =parameter I added in the KERNEL_CMDLINE in second stanza, , as I use Easy mostly. But try this edit for starters. If when booting and it doesn't work the first time, you can press E while in the bootloader and temporarily edit the parameter until you find what works. once booted, you can open up limine.cfg in a text editor to make the temp parameter permanent.
I realize this seems complicated jumping back and forth between limine advice and fossa advice. Perhaps limine will be added to a mainline puppy and documentation can someday be consolidated.
