Unfortunately, by the time it is able to read a config file, it is too
late. But you don't have to rebuild. Just re-run lilo. You can get the
lilo.conf parms out of the buildit.s script, and run lilo with a larger
ramdisk. No rebuild required.

Well, this is easy to add by changing settings.s and/or rc.custom.gz. It
is more problematic than you would think to 'look for' devices at boot
time, already just doing the 'pcmcia start' command locks up some boxes.

I will put some more thought into it, at one point I did have it look for
a third config file on the floppy and run it if present.
