Bug#680900: flash-kernel: support for local overrides of db settings
Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
As discussed in #667681 it would be very useful to be able to override certain
per-machine settings locally. For example Boot-Device defaults to /dev/sda1 on
Dreamplug but can also be sdb1 depending on local configuration.
I have implemented this and pushed to gitorious (see below). I'll also attach
the patches shortly.
Ian.
