Hi all
In syslinux.txt, there said
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If the Shift or Alt keys are held down during boot, or the Caps or
scroll locks are set, Syslinux will display a LILO-style "boot:" prompt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I am use pxelinux to boot my pxe client. Is there any way to let
user specify a config file in this stage? In another word, I hope I can
specify 'Debug' as config name, not the regular file name 'default' or
something like following order.
/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/b8945908-d6a6-41a9-611d-74a6ab80b83d
/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd
/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025B
/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025
/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C00002
/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C0000
/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000
/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C00
/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C0
/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C
/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/default
If what I mentioned is not supported currently. I suggest this
function can be added in further build.
Thanks
Best Regards
