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.
It's been broken out now as a seperate function that is run prior to bringing up the network.
Cheers!
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.
