Regarding the entries of the operating systems that can be booted:

• The first entry ("title linux") boots SuSE Linux.

• The Linux kernel is located in the first logical partition of the first

hard disk

(hd0,4) (the boot partition in this example); the file name

is vmlinuz. Kernel parameters (such as the specification of the root

partition, vga, etc.) are appended directly.

Attention: The root partition must be specified as a Linux device

name, since it is sent to the Linux kernel as a parameter.

• Information on the position of the initrd: The initrd is also located in

the first logical partition on the first hard disk.

• The next section starts Windows from the first partition of the hard

disk (hd0,0). To be on the safe side, the option "makeactive" is set

in the following line, as Windows can only be started from a visible

partition that is set active.

The entry "

chainloader +1" causes the first sector of the indicated

partition to be read and executed.

• The subsequent section can be used to start an operating system from

a floppy disk without performing any changes in the BIOS.

• The final section starts Linux in the failsafe mode.

See the website for a better explanation if this didn’t jog your memory.

GUI or Text Boot To change the boot mode between GUI and Text mode, you need to set the

default runlevel in the initab file:

- vi /etc/inittab

- Find the runlevel section and the line that reads:

id:X:initdefault (where X = 3 or 5)

- Change the line for what you want as follows:

id:3:initdefault = text mode

id:5:initdefault = GUI mode

Exit GUI to Text Mode Uhoh – your /etc/inittab is set to boot into GUI mode automatically, but your

screen resolution doesn’t support it. How do you exit the GUI when you

can’t see anything? Well, good old [CTRL] + [ALT] + [Backspace]

doesn’t do the trick because it will exit GUI, but immediately go right back

into the GUI. So what’s a geek to do?

To exit GUI, use [CTRL] + [ALT] + [F1]. This will exit GUI and put you

at the console (command line interface).
