+Gentoo Linux LiveCD boot options - [F1 to display available kernels]
+
+Please hit F1 to see the available kernels on this livecd.  Please note that
+the -nofb counterparts to each kernel disable the framebuffer
+and splash images. Additionally, the memtest86 boot option is available
+to test local RAM for errors. To use memtest86, just type 'memtest86'.
+
+This lists the possible command line options that can be used to tweak the boot
+process of this CD.  This lists the Gentoo-specific options, along with a few
+options that are built-in to the kernel, but that have been proven very useful
+to our users.  Also, all options that start with "do" have a "no" inverse, that
+does the opposite.  For example, "doscsi" enables SCSI support in the initial
+ramdisk boot, while "noscsi" disables it.
+
+To list the options, please press keys from F3 through F7.

+F4: Hardware (Page 2)

+Hardware options (Page 1):
+acpi=on		This loads support for ACPI and also causes the acpid daemon to
+		be started by the CD on boot.  This is only needed if your
+		system requires ACPI to function properly.  This is not required
+		for Hyperthreading support.
+acpi=off	Completely disables ACPI.  This is useful on some older systems,
+		and is also a requirement for using APM.  This will disable any
+		Hyperthreading support of your processor.
+console=X	This sets up serial console access for the CD.  The first
+		option is the device, usually ttyS0 on x86, followed by any
+		connection options, which are comma separated.  The default
+		options are 9600,8,n,1.
+dmraid=X	This allows for passing options to the device-mapper RAID
+		subsystem.  Options should be encapsulated in quotes.
+doapm		This loads APM driver support.  This requires you to also use
+		acpi=off.
+dopcmcia	This loads support for PCMCIA and Cardbus hardware and also
+		causes the pcmcia cardmgr to be started by the CD on boot.
+		This is only required when booting from a PCMCIA/Cardbus device.
+doscsi		This loads support for most SCSI controllers.  This is also a
+		requirement for booting most USB devices, as they use the SCSI
+		subsystem of the kernel.

+Hardware options (Page 2):
+hda=stroke	This allows you to partition the whole hard disk even when your
+		BIOS is unable to handle large disks.  This option is only used
+		on machines with an older BIOS.  Replace hda with the device
+		that is requiring this option.
+ide=nodma	This forces the disabling of DMA in the kernel and is required
+		by some IDE chipsets and also by some CDROM drives.  If your
+		system is having trouble reading from your IDE CDROM, try this
+		option.  This also disables the default hdparm settings from
+		being executed.
+noapic		This disables the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
+		that is present on newer motherboards.  It has been known to
+		cause some problems on older hardware.
+nodetect	This disables all of the autodetection done by the CD, including
+		device autodetection and DHCP probing.  This is useful for doing
+		debugging of a failing CD or driver.
+nodhcp		This disables DHCP probing on detected network cards.  This is
+		useful on networks with only static addresses.
+nodmraid	Disables support for device-mapper RAID, such as that used for
+		on-board IDE/SATA RAID controllers.
+nofirewire	This disables the loading of Firewire modules.  This should only
+		be necessary if your Firewire hardware is causing a problem with
+		booting the CD.

+Hardware options (Page 3):
+nogpm		This diables gpm console mouse support.
+nohotplug	This disables the loading of the hotplug and coldplug init
+		scripts at boot.  This is useful for doing debugging of a
+		failing CD or driver.
+nokeymap	This disables the keymap selection used to select non-US
+		keyboard layouts.
+nolapic		This disables the local APIC on Uniprocessor kernels.
+nosata		This disables the loading of Serial ATA modules.  This is useful
+		if your system is having problems with the SATA subsystem.
+nosmp		This disables SMP, or Symmetric Multiprocessing, on SMP-enabled
+		kernels.  This is useful for debugging SMP-related issues with
+		certain drivers and motherboards.
+nosound		This disables sound support and volume setting.  This is useful
+		for systems where sound support causes problems.
+nousb		This disables the autoloading of USB modules.  This is useful
+		for debugging USB issues.

+Volume/Device Management:
+dodevfs		This enables the deprecated device filesystem on 2.6 systems.
+		You will also need to use noudev for this to take effect.
+		Since devfs is the only option with a 2.4 kernel, this option
+		has no effect if booting a 2.4 kernel.
+doevms2		This enables support for IBM's pluggable EVMS, or Enterprise
+		Volume Management System.  This is not safe to use with lvm2.
+dolvm2		This enables support for Linux's Logical Volume Management.
+		This is not safe to use with evms2.
+noudev		This disables udev support on 2.6 kernels.  This option requires
+		that dodevfs is used.  Since udev is not an option for 2.4
+		kernels, this options has no effect if booting a 2.4 kernel.
+unionfs		Enables support for Unionfs on supported CD images.  This will
+		create a writable Unionfs overlay in a tmpfs, allowing you to
+		change any file on the CD.
+unionfs=X	Enables support for Unionfs on supported CD images.  This will
+		create a writable Unionfs overlay on the device you specify.
+		The device must be formatted with a filesystem recognized and
+		writable by the kernel.

+Other options:
+debug		Enables debugging code.  This might get messy, as it displays
+		a lot of data to the screen.
+docache		This caches the entire runtime portion of the CD into RAM, which
+		allows you to umount /mnt/cdrom and mount another CDROM.  This
+		option requires that you have at least twice as much available
+		RAM as the size of the CD.
+doload=X	This causes the initial ramdisk to load any module listed, as
+		well as dependencies.  Replace X with the module name.  Multiple
+		modules can be specified by a comma-separated list.
+noload=X	This causes the initial ramdisk to skip the loading of a
+		specific module that may be causing a problem.  Syntax matches
+		that of doload.
+nox		This causes an X-enabled LiveCD to not automatically start X,
+		but rather, to drop to the command line instead.
+scandelay	This causes the CD to pause for 10 seconds during certain
+		portions the boot process to allow for devices that are slow to
+		initialize to be ready for use.
+scandelay=X	This allows you to specify a given delay, in seconds, to be
+		added to certain portions of the boot process to allow for
+		devices that are slow to initialize to be ready for use.
+		Replace X with the number of seconds to pause.
