You have the option of installing GRUB or LILO
as the boot loader. If you do not want to install a boot loader, uncheck
Install Boot Loader. If you choose
not to install a boot loader, make sure you create a boot disk or have
another way to boot (such as a third-party boot loader) your Red Hat Linux
system.
If you choose to install a boot loader, you must also choose which
boot loader to install (GRUB or LILO) and where to
to install the boot loader (the Master Boot Record or
the first sector of the /boot partition). Install
the boot loader on the MBR if you plan to use it as your boot loader. If
you are using a different boot loader, install LILO or GRUB on the first
sector of the /boot partition and configure the
other boot loader to boot Red Hat Linux.
If you need to pass any special parameters to the kernel to be used when
the system boots, enter them in the Kernel
parameters text field. For example, if you have an IDE CD-ROM
burner, you can tell the kernel to use the SCSI emulation driver that
must be loaded before using cdrecord by typing
hdd=ide-scsi as a kernel parameter (where
hdd is the CD-ROM device).
If you choose LILO as the boot loader, choose whether you want to use
linear mode and whether you want to force the use of lba32 mode.
If you choose GRUB as the boot loader, you can password protect it by
configuring a GRUB password. Enter a password in the Use GRUB
Password text entry area. If you want to save the password
as an encrypted password in the file, select Encrypt GRUB
password. When the file is saved, the plaintext password
that you typed will be encrypted and written to the kickstart file. Do
not type an already encrypted password and select to encrypt it.
