Where are boot parameters (to use with Gujin, GRUB, LILO?)

[kethd]

What are the possible Puppy boot parameters (to be passed from the Gujin/tiny command line, or GRUB or LILO)?

* kernel parameters:
quiet - be less verbose
debug - be maximally verbose (seems similar to default behavior)
console=ttyS0 - use serial port during boot
Are any others of potential use?

* init parameters:
Where are these listed?

All unrecognized parameters are passed on as environment variables to the Puppy start-up script, rc.sysinit. Puppy uses PFILE, PHOME and PSLEEP... Where are these best documented?

The command line seen by the kernel is viewable at:
# cat /proc/cmdline
and the boot log output at:
# cat /var/log/messages
but unfortunately the messages there do not include a log of sysinit output. And there do not seem to be any standard debug options for sysinit.

Gujin seems very limited on the line length that can be passed, so it must be used as efficiently as possible. GRUB and LILO presumably are not so limited

A description of the Puppy boot parameters used to be here:

I say used to be because I cannot access goosee at the moment!
