Bernard, any chance you can help adding support for kboot to systemconfigurator? We'd need a module similar to Grub.pm which builds the kboot config file.
I have no idea how kboot works and have no toy to try it with. Can you describe that? Is it a config file? Where located? How do you install it? How do you make kboot look at your config file? Sorry for using this thread, but is seems remotely related...
