Hmm, how should I specify that I want to use com0 as console then?
Agreed, boot.conf is VERY useful.
Another important use is to reboot into another temporary kernel. I
use this to boot into a YAIFO-like installer, so I can easily re-
install a running machine from the network without
having to much with BIOS setting for pxeboot, etc. And if this
process fails for some reason (before you reformat your disks :-) ),
it is good to have the regular kernels sitting around for recovery
purposes.
