Indeed, some of the bootargs are downright inappropriate for a
CD... for example, prompt_ramdisk shouldn't be set.
Here's what I've got now:
root=/dev/ram ro initrd=<flavor>.bin ramdisk_size=16384 disksize=1.44 flavor=<flavor>
where <flavor>.bin is disks-1.44/<flavor>/root.bin
The only parameter I'm not sure of: load_ramdisk=1 Do I want this or not?
