Both rEFInd (http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/) and gummiboot (http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/gummiboot) can launch a Linux kernels with EFI stub loaders using pre-set options, or alter the options on a boot-by-boot basis. -- Rod Smith [email protected] http://www.rodsbooks.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
