Boot Loader Installation

In order to boot your Red Hat Linux system without a boot disk, you usually need to install a boot loader.

z/IPL is the software boot loader that is used to IPL your installation of Red Hat Linux.

If you wish to add default options to z/IPL's boot command, enter them into the Kernel parameters field. Any options you enter will be passed to the Linux kernel every time it boots.
