Boot Configuration

1.   Automating fsck
2.   Getting a boot log

Automating fsck

I run my servers headless therefore have no console so it is essential to edit /etc/default/rcS to prevent fsck problems from hanging your boot waiting for you to press "y" on a nonexistant console.

 nano /etc/default/rcS

Now set...

 FSCKFIX=yes

...and save and exit.

Getting a boot log

It's a good idea to enable bootlogd by editing /etc/default/bootlogd, then you will have boot logs available in /var/log/boot.

 nano /etc/default/bootlogd

Now set...

 BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes

...and save and exit.
