I think there was a scheme like that. With not exactly (i am not going to dive into details since i don't think it is relevant to the list) but hp-ux is designed for hp-9000 hardware, while linux is designed to support a much broader range of hardware (including shitty hardware like the PC) >Linux, /boot and initrd's could be arranged like that. That is what root How is that different from what we already have now using lilo and an lvm aware initrd? except that we don't have any constraint on placing the kernel and initrd (except for hardware limitation of said shitty platform) L. -- Luca Berra -- bluca@comedia.it Communication Media & Services S.r.l. /"\ \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN X AGAINST HTML MAIL / \
