it's another stage of bootloading which requires a number of things to be built-in to the kernel. in this sense, it's like initrd. if we were to instead make the local file servers (fossil+venti, kfs, cwfs, etc.) idiomatic enough in their arguments, it should be easy enough to drive them with the same boot code, that needn't bloat the kernel, or require fancy memory reclaim. also, > let's make it "fsmb". that way we need not enumerate file servers. > i've always found listing things in mb is easier to work out. i take it back. $fsname^mb is idiomatic enough to automate. sorry for the noise. - erik
