Dude.

You're right.

It's not on purpose, but is a side effect of the part of the
read_local_cfg function that tries to determine if we should look for a
local.cfg file on the local hard disk.

But, I think I should break this out into a seperate function now.
Behavior won't change, but the code will be a mite cleaner.

Cheers!

This would allow someone at the syslinux "boot:" prompt, to type in:

boot:  systemimager si_imagename=my_image

The /etc/init.d/rcS would then parse these out, and set the
miscellaneous si variables appropriately.

The requested use: "I want to choose my master autoinstall script at
boot time ($IMAGENAME.master)."

What say you?


Doesn't it already do that? I know I boot images all the time without DHCP like this:

boot: kernel initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram HOSTNAME=blah.localdomain DEVICE=whatever IPADDR=whatever ad nauseum.

The minimal set necessary is HOSTNAME DEVICE IPADDR NETMASK BROADCAST IMAGESERVER.

I'm almost certain that anything you can put in a local.cfg file can be passed on the command line, including IMAGENAME.
