I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong. Here's the contents of /proc/cmdline... Note that it does not contain what I typed. I think
It actually contains your ssh=bogus entry which is correct. I just downloaded grml64-2011.12-rc1 and it works for me.
the problem is that I have to press some down arrows and/or tabs when the disk stops spinning. I have just been typing my grml command...
Grml switched to a graphical menu a while ago. You just have to press tab and enter the addtional boot parameters like ssh=bogus which you did according to the content below. You do not have to add the grml paramer like you did but there is no harm if you do it.
initrd=/boot/grml/initrd.gz boot=live bootid=grml201112rc1 apm=power-off vga=791 quiet nomce grml ssh=bogus BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/grml/linux26
It seems that this is the correct commandline. I just tested it and it works for me. Is there maybe a firewall in between? Otherwise can you test if there is a sshd running on the machine with pidof sshd? You can also try to access the ssh daemon from the machine itself with:
ssh grml@grml.local
which should ask for the password of the host.
We are currently thinking about adding a beep after the bootloader is loaded. Hopefully this will help to add customized parameters to the commandline.
That would be very nice.
You can test and use a test version from http://jenkins.grml.org/job/grml-full-amd64/760/artifact/2011-12-15_00-04-14... which should contain the beep in the bootloader. This is atm untested. Please be aware that this iso is a 64bit one. I can't offer you a 32bit one.
