Void Linux

[xeno74]

You can boot Void without Xorg with the runsvdirs single. You have to set the root password before.

For example with QEMU:

Code: Select all

qemu-system-ppc64 -M ppce500 -cpu e5500 -m 4096 -kernel uImage-6.11 -drive format=raw,file=void-live-powerpc-20230317.img,index=0,if=virtio -netdev user,id=mynet0 -device virtio-net,netdev=mynet0 -append "root=/dev/vda console=ttyS0 single" -device virtio-keyboard-pci -smp 4 -nographic

The runit-void package comes with two runsvdirs, single and default:

single just runs sulogin(8) and the necessary steps to rescue your system.
default is the default runsvdir on a running system.

If you need a network connection then run "dhcpcd".
