Package: flash-kernel Version: 3.1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch As discussed in #667681 it would be very useful to be able to override certain per-machine settings locally. For example Boot-Device defaults to /dev/sda1 on Dreamplug but can also be sdb1 depending on local configuration.
I have implemented this and pushed to gitorious (see below). I'll also attach the patches shortly. Ian.
