That sounds like something I will definitely need otherwise I will end up
with 101 Floppy Disks in the distribution set.

Thanks

I'd forgotten that one. Right from the start the 386 Linux let you
modify the root device/swap device by patching the program header. I
guess we need something similar in ELKS so you can find and patch
rootdev, or override it from a config value of some sort ?
