My two cents; In MB2 we remove the possibility to communicate options from the kernel to the boot loader. The loader has one task; loading the kernel and leave control to it, and possible pass information about the environment. Nothing more. If the operating system kernel is stupid enough to require as special video mode the user should be aware of that and setup the bootloader so that it is in that mode before the kernel is started. ~j
