The problem with autorunning something from the root of the CD you are booting is that it presumes we can find and mount the CD. Note that tomsrtbt would boot fine from a non-scsi non-ide CD, as long as the BIOS works for it, but the tomsrtbt kernel would _not_ be able to mount such a CD after boot- so we know for sure there are cases where this isn't even possible. To the degree it _is_ possible, we would have to walk through all of the possible ide and scsi devices, somehow guess which one was the boot cd, and guestimate everything well enough to get it mounted. If someone can write a decent CDROM automount script in less than, um, 500 bytes, I'll put it in as an option... -Tom
