Hi Im trying to find a way to do a sort of very soft reboot. For example I want to boot up the computer into a kernel on one drive, and then after saying reboot, the computer loads up a kernel from a second drive.
I have gotten this to work with the use of a file to pass information between boots, but that is not an ideal solution. What I really want is either a way to pass a parameter to the BIOS so that it can pass it to boot upon restarting, or a way to reload the boot loader into memory and then execute it. It would even be fine to use another operating system on the first boot. So it boots up into say Gentoo, and then when Im done with that, I want to load OpenBSD. Does anybody have an idea how I can approach this? Thanks Jonathan Steel
