Subject: man bootparm: mention grub, and correct kernel-parameters.txt location

Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 21:09:52 +0800

Package: manpages
Version: 3.27-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man7/bootparam.7.gz

We see

   The LILO program (LInux LOader) written by Werner Almesberger is the
   most commonly used.

   The other commonly used Linux loader is 'LoadLin'

Please mention grub.

Also say that kernel-parameters.txt is at
/usr/share/doc/linux-doc-*/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.gz
in addition to /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt if
indeed at the latter at all these days.

The text on LILO and LoadLin is indeed crufty. I have simply removed all of 
that text, and briefly mentioned GRUB as an example of a boot loader.

I'm not sure what you mean with this piece. 
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt is certainly alive and well in my 3.9
source tree...

Cheers,

OK I see it is currently at
# dlocate kernel-parameters.txt
linux-doc-3.9: /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-3.9/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.gz
Thanks.

lilo items should be removed from here too.
