Afaik no way right now and I think it would be a good idea to open a bug 
report about this subject.
The current palo status of is specialy anoying when you reboot a server 
as a N (selftest of about 1/4h) and you made some stupid typo (as you 
do: 60 in place of 69) .

Hmm if I still have some time to have a look on this (as well as for 
booting a compressed kernel), which is the best 'model' (the nearest of 
palo) that I would have to analyse?
