bootfrom cheatcode doesn't work so use tohd and fromhd cheatcodes instead
Hi all,
My favorite cheatcode "bootfrom" which worked so well in knoppix 5 series just doesn't work in knoppix 6 versions. I struggled mightily figuring that out. If you can make the "bootfrom" cheatcode work with knoppix 6, I'd sure like to hear how you did it.
However, an alternative method which works just as well is to use the "tohd" and "fromhd" cheatcodes. You just boot up the knoppix cd and type
"knoppix tohd=/dev/sda1"
if you want to copy the knoppix disc to /dev/sda1 and knoppix will copy itself to that partition and use that instead of going to the cd-rom disc. Note that knoppix will create a "Knoppix" directory on that partition.
Once you've done the tohd, the next time you boot you can use "fromhd" and you won't have to redo the copy.
"knoppix fromhd=/dev/sda1"
I've actually come to like this way, as I don't have to mess around creating an *.iso disc image for the "bootfrom" parameter.
