Subject: Initial runlevel through kernel parameters
Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2007 10:41:10 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200704271041.10379.mike@geekgene.com> (raw)

Hello,

I would like to be able to set the default runlevel from the kernel loader 
(grub, lilo) as a command line parameter while using runit-init.  This is 
quite handy, being able to specify an S for single, or 3 for console-only, 
etc.

I've been looking around, and I was just wondering if anyone can point me in 
the right direction to set this up.  Once realized, I would be happy to write 
up some docs about how to accomplish this.

I don't really care how it has to be done, I just know that, especially on my 
laptop and some servers there are times when we don't want a lot of extra 
overhead for specialized tasks and maintenence-boots.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
--Mike
