Chapter 7. Optional: Customizing boot options
When you are installing RHEL on x86_64 or ARM64 architectures, you can edit the boot options to customize the installation process based on your specific environment.

You can append multiple options separated by space to the boot command line. Boot options specific to the installation program always start with inst. The following are the available boot options:
- Options with an equals "=" sign
-
You must specify a value for boot options that use the
=symbol. For example, theinst.lang=option must contain a value, in this example, a language code. The correct syntax for this example isinst.lang=en_US. - Options without an equals "=" sign
-
This boot option does not accept any values or parameters. For example, the
rd.live.checkoption forces the installation program to verify the installation media before starting the installation. If this boot option is present, the installation program performs the verification and if the boot option is not present, the verification is skipped.
You can customize boot options for a particular menu entry by pressing the e key and adding custom boot options to the command line. When ready, press Ctrl+X to boot the modified option.
