    6 10 == General Info == 
    7   This page is about the multiroot bootmenu from openaos and will explain a few features it has. Since [https://openaos.org/wp-upload/gen7/2012-04-09/ kernel version release from 09-04-2012] is gen7 equal to the bootmenu from gen8.  
      11 This page is about the multiroot bootmenu from openaos and will explain a few features it has. 
    8 12 The menu.lst also changed a bit, so if you have installed an older version and want to flash the newer version then delete menu.lst and on first boot it will be recreated in the right format. 
    9 13  
    10   Example of the menu.lst 
    11    
      14 Example menu.lst: 
    12 15 {{{ 
    13 16 Archos|ARCHOS|ARCHOS|/init|0 
    14 17 Angstrom||/rootfs.img|/sbin/init|1 
    15 18 Gingerbread||/openaos-gingerbread.img|/init|0 
      19  
    16 20 }}} 
    17    
    18   Note: extension to the menu.lst structure only for gen7, for gen8 they will be ignored. 
    19    
    20    * If you add '|1' then fbset will set the framebuffer like in the original SDE kernel (e.g. for Ångström). 
    21    * If you add '|0' then it will be set like for the Android like Archos firmware, Froyo, Gingerbread. 
      21 The last parameter is only for gen7 (gen8 will ignore it): 
      22  * '|1' will set the framebuffer like in the original SDE kernel (e.g. for Ångström). 
      23  * '|0' will set it like the Archos Android firmware 
    22 24  
    23 25 == Features == 
    24    1. You can repartition internal storage and use ext4 for as filesystem. You then have to add "/dev/mmcblk1p2" on the second position in menu.lst. You can also use the sd-card on gen8 for example "/dev/mmcblk2pX". X is the partition you want to use. If you only have one partition it will be "/dev/mmcblk2p1" 
      26  1. You can repartition internal storage and use ext4 for as filesystem. You then have to add "/dev/mmcblk1p2" on the second position in menu.lst. You can also use the sd-card on gen8 for example "/dev/mmcblk2pX". X is the partition you want to use. If you only have one partition it will be "/dev/mmcblk2p1" 
    25 27 {{{ 
    26 28 Angstrom|/dev/mmcblk1p2||/sbin/init|1 
    27 29 }}} 
    28    
    29   '''Note:''' The above is for booting a partition, so not for putting an image file on for example the sdcard. 
    30 30  
    31 31  2. Dumping the squashfs file from archos. Create a dir on your internal storage with the name "/openaos/dump". On startup from the bootmenu it will copy the secure squashfs from /mnt/system dir to the dump dir for further extraction.
