Is this something similiar to SGI's sash? Much simpler. Its getting installed into the volume header. Its able to boot an ELF kernel from a common ext2/ext3 partition. Guido worked on it very hard 2 weeks ago and there is a debian package now. We are looking forward to change the kernel-images and kernel-package to provide elf images and use arcboot for booting which will also bring down the needed volume header size. > > This i guess is a different baud rate.

First there is the kernel console for all kernel messages until "mounting root" and the later coming kernel oopes and stuff. Then there is the userspace /dev/console stuff where all bootup message come through. The baud rate of the former is set by the kernel command line. I am unshure about /dev/console which might come from /etc/ioctl.save via "init". Then there is the login getty on /dev/console which has a baud rate on its command line as an argument.
