Are there any firm plans for loading alternate kernels and rootfs from
external (or "internal" uSD) storage (or even over NFS)?
I need to do something for the MokoSlug distribution, and I'd want to do
it the same way on the Neo and on it's companion server.
A number of people have suggested "altboot"
(http://blog.hentges.net/?page_id=50) when I asked this on the OE
mailing list. NSLU2-Linux currently has "turnup" functionality which
performs a similar function (I'm not suggesting we use that
functionality, as it is very much tied to the NSLU2).
Mickey, Harold, are there any other alternatives that you see, or should
I just hunker down and start hacking on altboot?
