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?
