Bug#397592: document max. length of boot parameters
Package: debian-installer-manual
Section B.2.2 (Using boot parameters to supplement preseeding) notes
that current kernels can accept a maximum of 32 command line options,
but says nothing about a maximum number of characters on the kernel
command line.
There appears to be a 255 character maximum for parameters, after
which the kernel command line is silently truncated. I have no idea
if this is a limitation of the kernel, or of grub, but it should
probably be noted along with the 32 parameter limit.
