Has code been committed to d-i to handle this? I notice that m68k has the same need, and even on i386 it would be nice to be able to handle multiple kernel/initrd pairs in parallel for (hypothetically... :) an xfs-flavored kernel or a 2.6 kernel. It would be nice to have a general solution for these multiple-variants-per-target scenarios. > old world pmac and miboot booting is definitively not supported yet. > Someone with knowledge of that and access to hardware should work on it. > The kernel should be ready for it, but the kernel-di stuff should be > able to handle both the -powerpc config and the -powerpc-small one. I have access to such hardware, but I don't know how much time I'd have to work on it. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
