This started out as a pmax-only discussion but it's really an MI issue
that could affect all two-stage boot ports. Here's a summary of the
initial discussion:
Simon Burge:
Does anyone have any technical or philosophical arguments against
renaming /boot to /pmaxboot? This is primarily to support
multi-platform boot media (such as CD ROMs)...
abs:
How about bootpmax - to group different boots together under ls :)
Andy Doran:
boot.pmax?
matthew green:
heh; i had thought boot_pmax like we have fsck_xxx, mount_xxx, etc...
and that's where it got upto before being moved to tech-kern.
I'm happy with the boot_<arch> idea (as long as ``_'' is a valid
character in a standard cd9660 filename). Comments from anyone else?
Simon.
