That whole "ip=" string is in /proc/cmdline, but really you can get it via dhcp as pxelinux did. Using ip= if it's present is good, but if I used a floppy with a kernel and initial ramdisk on it, it would not be there unless the user typed it manually. FWIW Red Hat, which wrote pump, does get it with dhcp.. -- Cheers John Summerfield Please, no off-list mail at all at all.
