Bug#880152: flash-kernel: please echo cmdline before starting the kernel
Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.87
Severity: wishlist
Hi!
It would be nice if you could echo kernel cmdline before passing control.
Currently there's:
echo "Booting Debian from ${devtype} ${devnum}:${partition}..."
I can edit the bootscript myself, but having this by default would help
anyone who sees:

`----
then nothing.
(This particular board uses bootscript.odroid, but this extra line can't
hurt elsewhere.)
