`These are the supported boot options
|
|
<https://github.com/scaleway/initrd/tree/master/Linux#boot-options>`_ on
|
|
Scaleway, managed through instance tags.
|
|
|
|
The [serial] console doesn't work with Firefox, so install Chromium.
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
|
|
Use bootscript for this, not local boot.
|
|
|
|
Instances -> Select Your Instance -> Advanced Settings.
|
|
|
|
Make sure only ``INITRD_POST_SHELL=1`` is present in tags.
|
|
|
|
Reboot instance. You'll get a shell with the volume mounted in ``/newroot``.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
chroot /newroot
|
|
passwd root
|
|
|
|
Exit the chroot shell and the post initrd shell, the boot should continue to
|
|
the VM.
