Hello, all.
Now when core image can be booted by multiple sources perhaps it would
be a good idea to recieve some boot arguments in case boot method (e.g.
multiboot) supports it. Probably the best way is to recieve pairs
<name,value> which can be easily imported to environment. Another
possibility of improving boot process is to detect the prefix even if
partition map changed it can be done e.g. with UUID but this comprises a
security risk in case an attacker can plug a device (cdrom, floppy,
USB-memory,..) containing a partition with the same UUID. What do you
think about it
