Sounds great.

We talked about a minimal bootloader a while back, and one of the things
we really wanted to get away from was the "U-Boot environment" concept.
~  But after some thinking we ended up that despite getting rid of
everything else (even dynparts by allowing oversized partitions) we
would need a Linux kernel commandline - only - that can be stored somewhere.
