Sometimes you don??™t need graphics drivers. And sometimes you do not
want to preserve any changes made to your system, /home or otherwise. To disable a specific
module, you can pass the noload cheat code, as follows:
boot: bt noload=config-wireless.lzm
You can choose to not load multiple modules by including them all, semicolondelimited:
boot: bt noload=config-wireless.lzm;preserve-changes.lzm;pentest.lzm

bt nopcmcia
bt noagp
bt noacpi
bt nohotplug
These codes are rarely used due to the excellent hardware support
in the 2.6.20 kernel. If you encounter hardware-related problems,
you can turn off PCMCIA support, AGP support, ACPI BIOS
support, or turn off all hardware auto-detection.
bt passwd=somepass
bt passwd=ask
These set the root password to a specific value or prompt for a
new root password. Cheat codes appear in the /var/log/messages
file, so don??™t make a habit of using the passwd cheat code if anyone
else has access to your messages file.
bt copy2ram
bt toram
Modules are normally mounted from the CD/disk/USB with aufs
abstracting the physical file location. This option loads all used
modules into RAM instead, slowing the boot phase but speeding up
BackTrack.
