c. [Optional] The timeout interval for the boot menu plus the component that will
automatically start on timeout.
If not configured, the Acronis loader waits for someone to select whether to boot the
operating system (if present) or the Acronis component.
If you set, say, 10 sec. for the bootable agent, the agent will launch 10 seconds after the
menu is displayed. This enables unattended onsite operation when booting from a PXE
server or WDS/RIS.
d. [Optional] Remote logon settings:
User name and password to be entered on the console side at the connection to the
agent. If you leave these boxes empty, the connection will be enabled without specifying
credentials.
e. [Optional] Network settings (p. 170):
TCP/IP settings to be assigned to the machine network adapters.
f. [Optional] Network port (p. 170):
The TCP port that the bootable agent listens for incoming connection.
g. The type of media to create. You can:
Create CD, DVD or other bootable media such as removable USB flash drives if the
hardware BIOS allows for boot from such media
Build an ISO image of a bootable disc to burn it later on a blank disc
Upload the selected components to Acronis PXE Server
Upload the selected components to a WDS/RIS.
h. [Optional] Windows system drivers to be used by Acronis Universal Restore (p. 171). This
window appears only if a media other than PXE or WDS/RIS is selected.
i. Path to the media ISO file or the name or IP and credentials for PXE or WDS/RIS.
9.1.1.1 Kernel parameters
This window lets you specify one or more parameters of the Linux kernel. They will be automatically
applied when the bootable media starts.
These parameters are typically used when experiencing problems while working with the bootable
media. Normally, you can leave this field empty.
You can also specify any of these parameters by pressing F11 while in the boot menu.
Parameters
When specifying multiple parameters, separate them with spaces.
acpi=off
Disables Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). You may want to use this
parameter when experiencing problems with a particular hardware configuration.
noapic
Disables Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC). You may want to use this
parameter when experiencing problems with a particular hardware configuration.
vga=ask
Prompts for the video mode to be used by the bootable media's graphical user interface.
Without the vga parameter, the video mode is detected automatically.
