As Adam mentioned, there were/are two such patches,
both courtesy of Mr. Lucius. The one you use for example:
> IPL 200 PARM -b
is what I use on a regular basis. (And evidently Leland
re-invented what you and the RedBook team did. Sorry about that!)
Specifically, I do things like
ipl 1b0 clear parm root=/dev/dasdc
and the "root=/dev/dasdc" is appended to
whatever parm line is stamped in the bootloader on disk,
and the kernel honors the last one it finds, and I don't have to
run up against that 64-byte limit by having to code the whole parm line.
VERY NICE INDEED. I hope we will still have this in SCSI land.
