I am hoping I can find a way to pass non-standard custom text options to some PC-104 systems that I am doing ARM development on.
I was editing an LTSP initrd.img file last week and found that I could set custom non-standard text messages to be used as boot arguments. I think the initrd.img is not using a full blown dhclient but some how the kernel boots with the right arguments. I just could not find how the values where getting into the initrd script. I was hoping there was a /proc file I could just cat.
