Hi!
I run a kernel with USERCONFIG_BOOT option (and userconfig editor compiled
in), and I noticed something which IMHO is undesirable behavor:
* Prepare /kernel.config file containing some config commands.
* boot with -c
* kernel ignores -c, and executes parameters from /kernel.config only.
I think this is bad. If I screw something with configuration (perhaps I
won't be able to run the system at all if I mess with syscons), I want -c
to take precedence over (perhaps bogus) commands from /kernel.config.
Kernel is -current. Bootblock is ca. 2 months old.
I always thought that machines should first listen to me, and then to
their own instructions :-) Wouldn't you like it yourself?
