> The current bootstrap already reads in values from /boot.config (my > boot.config contains "1:sd(0,a)kernel"). There has been little interest > in this so I haven't made it pass userconfig info to the kernel yet. I have major interest in it. As I said, right now things are seriously broken with the way we do userconfig save/restore and rather than continue to patch and repair that kludge, I'd much rather put time into adding code to read and write that configuration file. Well, the reading part sounds like it's pretty straight-forward, but something in userconfig is going to have to keep track of everything it changes so that this can be queried and saved through some API. I'm willing to try and make that bit work myself if we can somehow hook userconfig variables into your /boot.config file mechanism. We could also get rid of the "info" area kludge after the boot blocks, while we're at it. Jordan
