The new si_mkbootpackage command in 3.8.0 is very nice! I'm using it for
a simple task that I used to do manually: inserting SSH keys into
initrds, and always starting sshd on boot. I've got one enhancement
request: I'd like to be able to select the target architecture, like I
can with si_mkautoinstallcd.
This patch adds an "--arch" option to si_mkbootpackage which gets passed
down to create_uyok_initrd(). I tested it quickly by creating a 64-bit
initrd and installing RHEL4, but could someone give it a try, or at
least a sanity check?
Thanks!
Josh
