A couple of questions for which I would like feed-back before changing BootX: I've seen users having troubles because they both checked the "Use RAM Disk" box and wrote some incorrect infos in the /dev/xxx edit field of BootX. I was wondering: Is there any case where a user may want to have both "Use RamDisk" and a specified root device ? Should I ignore the content of the root device field when ram disk is used ? (It still possible to force it by typing the parameter manually in the kernel args anyway). Similar issue: should I lookup and remove any "video=xxxx" option from the kenrnel args prior to booting the kernel when "no video driver" is checked or is this harmless ? -- E-Mail: BenH.
