Boot into existing installation on hard disk using installation CD
From Salix OS
(Redirected from Boot into existing installation)
After installing Salix to hard disk my LILO or GRUB was broken. How can I boot into the installed system on the hard disk using Salix installation CD (not LiveCD)?
Put the Salix installation CD into the drive, reboot and when prompt appears type this:
hugesmp.s root=/dev/partition rdinit= ro
where partition stands for your partition number (ie. sda2; sdb1, etc.) where Salix was installed and yes there is a space between "rdinit=" and "ro"
