Hi,

Can you mount /boot on another system?

Can you press a key to interrupt booting the kernel? I'm not sure what the name of this stage of the booting is called and if it depends on which bootloader you are using.

In my VM I get this on the text "Beastie"-menu with the text:

> "Autoboot in 9 seconds. [Space] to pause".
<press space>
> "3. Escape to loader prompt"
<3>
> Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
> OK
set vmm_load=NO
> OK
unload vmm
> OK
boot


You can use the command "lsmod" and "show" to see what modules are already loaded and what variables are used while booting.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Ronald.
