Sorry top post only on my phone and I'm trying to remember from a year ago without my notes... Isn't rootfs something that we can pass through u-boot variables? I'm sure I've done it but I can't remember how... I also seem to remember that if ubldr can't find the rootfs it prompts for you to enter something manually, which might be good enough for development purposes? Or am I imagining that? I remember the prompt, but not what process launched it. Russ Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the Koodo network.

But you would need a custom kernel for this.
