Imaging Bootup Parameters

This section only applies to ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management SP1 and earlier. Boot parameters are not used in ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management SP2 and later.

ZENworks Imaging, by default, loads PCMCIA, SCSI, and USB drivers. When performing imaging work using diskettes, CDs, or DVDs, some computers, particularly laptops, with PCMCIA, SCSI, or USB cards can hang during the boot process. While loading these drivers does not normally cause problems, you can use command line parameters to prevent these drivers from loading. Also, if you have computers that use PCMCIA cards, you can choose to have the PCMCIA driver load earlier in the boot process if these computers experience problems loading the driver during a normal boot process.

You can use the following parameters at the command prompt:

Parameter	Specifics
PCMCIA	Whether to load a PCMCIA device during the boot process. Example: manual PCMCIA=NO
PCMCIABOOT	Whether to load a PCMCIA device earlier during the boot process (for example, a PCMCIA CDROM device). Example: manual PCMCIABOOT=YES
SCSI	Whether to load a SCSI device during the boot process. Example: manual SCSI=NO
USB	Whether to load a USB device during the boot process. Example: manual USB=NO
