Console Install (A): Using Windows RUFUS to make Ubuntu ISO USB pen disk

Step-1. Download RUFUS, https://rufus.akeo.ie/downloads/ burn ISO into USB-disk

(** You could skip Step-1 if you could attach a real DVD-ROM/CD-ROM install drive **)

Step-2. Use any editor, like ultraeditor or notepad++ to edit
the USB pen drive isolinux/txt.cfg file,

e.g. G:\isolinux\txt.cfg,

@@@ Replace all "quiet" to "console=ttyS0,115200n8" in the append kernel param field @@@

代碼:


default install

label install
     menu label ^Install Ubuntu Server
     kernel /install/vmlinuz
     append  file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server.seed vga=788 initrd=/install/initrd.gz console=ttyS0,115200n8 --

label cloud
     menu label ^Multiple server install with MAAS
     kernel /install/vmlinuz
     append   modules=maas-enlist-udeb vga=788 initrd=/install/initrd.gz console=ttyS0,115200n8 --

Step-3. Boot with the USB ISO disk, when you see "Error setting up gfxboot"
and the "boot: " prompt, just keyin "install (or cloud)" and press "ENTER" -> "ENTER"

Then you will see the Ubuntu Server installation text menu.

The "unetbootin" method looks a little bit complex, right?
