Be it the manual added options to the 'boot' command, or the options from 'boot-file' -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Why not have the OF command line override --cmdline, presenting the 5-second timeout with the new options, and printing above the ones supplied by --cmdline, for an output like; ok boot hd:0 kernel root=/dev/sda9 console=ttyPSC1 swapoff ip=192.168.9.1 [blah] Built-in Options: root=/dev/sda6 console=ttyPSC0 Edit Options: root=/dev/sda9 console=ttyPSC1 swapoff ip=192.168.9.1 This is far more user friendly than silently discarding and ignoring any user instruction from the firmware (or boot loader) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
