Bug#268986: Please set correct command line for PowerPC PReP kernel image

[Jens Schmalzing <j.s@lmu.de>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

The current PowerPC kernel-image packages, i.e. revision 2.6.8-3,
contain a built-in command line that enables most PReP systems to boot
unattended from hard disk.  It would be nice if the command line was
correct for the installation images as well; this is a simple matter
of replacing the root device in the kernel binary.  The following will
do the job:

 perl -pi -e s+/dev/sda2+/dev/ram0+ vmlinuz-prep.initrd

This should probably go into installer/build/config/powerpc.cfg, after
the mkvmlinuz loop.

Regards, Jens.
