The system now boots into single user mode.
NOTE: The GRUB changes are temporary. /boot/grub/grub.conf must be edited to make changes permanent
NOTE: The single option on the kernel line is very handy when troubleshooting boot problems.

Lesson 5Mounting CD ISO and floppy Image files on loopback devices
Desired: Be able to directly mount an CD ISO image file. Avoids having to burn downloaded ISO's on to CD's , then loading the new CD into computer, and then finally mounting /dev/cd0.
Solution: Use loopback devices.

• The more RAM the better
• Graphics (X Windows) runs best with a minimum of 64MB
RAM
• Swap space size should be 1.5 to 2 times RAM – up to
256 MB. At 256MB RAM and above, swap space should
equal RAM

CIS 191 - Lesson 5
Booting the System
1. Power On Self Test (POST) – loads the BIOS.
2. BIOS loads the Master Boot Record.
3. MBR read its partition table to determine which
partition to boot into.
4. MBR loads the boot program in the active partition.
5. Boot program presents user with boot prompt menu.
6. Based upon user selection, boot program loads
desired kernel along with and supplied boot options
7. Kernel uncompresses and loads into memory.
8. Kernel detects hardware and initializes its data.

CIS 191 - Lesson 5
Rooting the System
1. Kernel mounts the root file system2. Kernel creates and starts the init process3. init reads /etc/inittab for its instructions4. init performs system initialization:
• presents some kind of welcome banner• allows for and interactive startup• set up keyboard mapping, system fonts, plug and play
devices, …• checks for dirty file systems, can clean them if
necessary• checks disk quotas and swap space• mounts all file systems
5. Chooses which runlevel to come up in and executes those scripts via rc script
6. daemons load7. getty processes are spawned on terminal devices
/etc/inittab

CIS 191 - Lesson 5
Preparing for trouble
• Record your partition and mount information (output from fdisk –l and mount)
• Make a copy of your MBR. For example:dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr bs=512 count=1
• Create a bootable rescue floppy with GRUB installed that roots to your / partition on your Linux system.
• Record grub.conf
• Record MBR xxd output
• Record /etc/inittab

Rescue boot devices
• Put pristine GRUB stage1 and stage2 files• Add GRUB config files for more control• Add a kernel for more options• Make vender rescue disk• Add a kernel and small root file system with tools• Use small Linux distribution like Knoppix
