Perhaps, that since you statesheldonisaac wrote:Folks, please excuse: have struggled with this for days.
I got a Puppy 2.14X from
http://www.wisdom-seekers.com/puppy/214x/214X-RC5.iso
It boots fine off the CD-RW on this ASUS P5A (motherboard) computer.
I tried to do a frugal install on an HD (connected to IDE port of a
Promise controller; see
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=48708 )
It sort of works, but always asks which pupsave to use: 0 (none) or 1
or 2 (they are both the same, that is
/initrd/mnt/dev_save/puppy214/pup_save-dec12.2fs
How can I make the booting use that file, without offering the 3 (actually 2) choices?
Below is E:\boot\grub\menu.lstMany thanks,Code: Select all
default 0 timeout 10 title Windows 98se rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 makeactive boot title Puppy Linux 214 frugal rootnoverify (hd0,2) kernel /puppy214/vmlinuz pmedia=idehd root=/dev/ram0 PDEV1=hde3 acpi=force psubdir=puppy214 initrd /puppy214/initrd.gz boot

Anyway, many, many pages (and moons) ago it was discussed how to specify a specific pup_save-file to be automatically loaded and used; the full blast boot lines would look something like this for a pup_save-214XRC5.2fs in /dev/hda5/puppy_214XRC5/ ((hd0,4), ext2-formatted):
Code: Select all
title Puppy 214XRC5 on hda5/puppy_214XRC5_ext2FS
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
kernel /puppy_214XRC5/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 PMEDIA=idehd PDEV1=hda5 PUPMODE=12 DEV1FS=ext2 SFSFILE=ext2,hda5,/puppy_214XRC5/pup_214X.sfs ZDRV=ext2,hda5,/puppy_214XRC5/zdrv_214X.sfs PUPSAVE=ext2,hda5,/puppy_214XRC5/pup_save-214XRC5.2fs PKEYS=se
initrd /puppy_214XRC5/initrd.gz
No promises it will work for your Promise controller thingy, though ........
