Re: HOW TO: Personalize Boot Menu, Increase Chances of Recovering Lost NIT
 

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to change the default item in the boot menu after having installed initfs. So I'm trying to achieve this by directly editing /mnt/initfs/bootmenu.sh.

I think default_root is the variable to hunt for, but it occurs many times and I don't want to do anyhting foolish.

Any tips?

Thanks.

Ulysses

PS: I did read README.txt, still need some help.

OK, sorry, I figured it out.

Just run this command as root:

chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:flash

Thanks anyway.

Yep, I already done these to my initfs :)

Also, is it possible to mount a jffs2 initfs image on a different mountpoint or does default kernel lack modules?

Just saw this thread.

I did something similar for bootmenu.sh. I modified the boot_message() to something like:

boot_message(){
${T2S} -c
${T2S} -s 1 -H center -y 20 -T 0 -t "Booting from ${default_root} (${root_dev} ${root_fstype})..."
${T2S} -s 1 -H center -y 392 -T 0 -t "this N800 belongs to"
${T2S} -s 2 -H center -y 405 -T 0 -t "xxx@gmail.com"
${T2S} -s 2 -H center -y 425 -T 0 -t "408 xxx-yyyy"
}

Those messages stay longer while the device is booting up.....
