It's not a kernel parameter per se; userspace has access to the kernel command line and can do what it likes. rc.sysinit does this: cmdline=$(cat /proc/cmdline) and then references $cmdline to control various things: if ! strstr "$cmdline" nousb ; then if [ -f /fastboot ] || strstr "$cmdline" fastboot ; then [ -f /forcefsck ] || strstr "$cmdline" forcefsck ; then if ! strstr "$cmdline" nopnp ; then if ! strstr "$cmdline" nomodules && [ -f /proc/modules ] ; then if fgrep rhgb /proc/cmdline > /dev/null 2>&1 && [ "$RHGB_STARTED" -eq 0 -a "$BOOTUP" = "color" -a "$GRAPHICAL" = " (interesting; it's probably a bug that it doesn't reference $cmdline there) if ! strstr "$cmdline" nofirewire ; then if strstr "$cmdline" ide-scsi ; then if strstr "$cmdline" netprofile= ; then if strstr "$cmdline" confirm ; then - J<
