=============================================================================
To boot a Linux partition put the device it's on (/dev/hda3, /dev/sda1.
/dev/hdb2 etc.)

Examples: boot: linux root=/dev/hda2                <Boot system on /dev/hda2>
          boot: linux root=/dev/hda2 single         <Bypass init>    
          boot: linux root=/dev/hda2 init=/bin/sh   <Specify init>    

To boot a gzip compressed Linux system into ram that's on a 1.44MB floppy disk.

             "You'll be told when to INSERT the root disk."

==================== Smart Boot Manager ======================
The Smart-Boot-Manager can boot operating systems on your
hard drive (Linux,FreeBSD,WinXP,DOS,Win2k,Win9x,OS/2).

For it to boot a system there must be a boot sector at the
beginning (superblock) of the partition you want to boot. 

For Linux you would need to have Lilo or Grub installed to
the superblock of the Linux partition you want to boot.

boot: sbm            [Press the F3 key for DOS/Win9x options, F1 main menu!]
