Subject: Proposed patch for: 'bootparam.7'
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:44:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091110204408.GA2734@acerrimo> (raw)
Hello,
the enclosed patch documents the Linux kernel's 'resume' boot parameter.
The patch is to be applied to the 'bootparam.7' man page, as found in
version 3.23 of the man-pages.
The reported information was obtained from "The Linux BootPrompt-HowTo"
by Paul Gortmaker (v1.4, Mar 21, 2003) and tested on Slackware 12.2
using version 2.6.27.7 of the Linux kernel.
Regards,
Andrea Remondini
