| |
Hi guys,
Thanks to all who tried and sent me suggestions on the patch I sent ages ago:
http://www.ocston.org/~tigran/patches/bcp-2.3.36-pre5.patch
which implements a simple BCP (boot command processor) that lets you dump and tweak the boot command line and overcomes the <79 bytes limitation of some patches versions of LILO distributed with some distributions (RedHat, SuSE etc).
What I wanted to ask is - what features would you like me to add to it, other than what has already been suggested, i.e.:
a) dump/tweak other stuff, e.g. vga mode.
b) load an alternative kernel image, possibly from a BFS filesystem, similar to the /stand slice handling done in UnixWare boot code.
Any other ideas?
