Subject: Re: [9fans] Booting from gefs on RPi without the dance?

Message-ID: <446264DCB3564D7C8FA7116E5B144383@eigenstate.org> (raw)

what are the contents of your commandline.txt(?) (I think that's
the place where you configure your command line). The '-A' that
you're adding there should be present.

from what I remember, the commandline.txt format puts all args
on one line, so perhaps there's some quoting needed?

Quoth experimentech@gmail.com:

> This is what I'm faced with every boot. I haven't got a clue how to fix it and haven't had any luck on finding information. Can someone help me with it? It was a huge pain to even set it up with gefs on Pi, and if I can, I want to be able to save it.
