So, what exactly do you want it to be able to do?
What I'm thinking is that we should be a little more explicit about
what we're doing.
1) We *must* put the second stage, whatever it is, at the same
address in flash, 0x60000.
2) We would like to be able to add a partition for the second stage
loader, in this case APEX.
I can see that we need or may need the following:
1) A new option, -L | --loader to add a second stage loader.
2) Allow the ramdisk image to be moved in case slugimage requires it
to be in a fixed location. I don't see that this is the case,
but I'm not sure.
Does this fit the bill? Or is there something else you are looking to
do?
