Hi Kent,
That was quick work. This looks very good (for i386 anyways).
A couple of thing I wonder about.
Should you include the option to boot on a partition? This may
confuse more than help and an experience Linux user would
probably already have a recovery disk.
What would the rama/ramb disk be used for? I think this may
also confuse unless it is pointed out for some specific use.
Maybe the initial prompted in message.txt should be something like;
"Hit return to boot parted"
"Hit F1 to see other options"
then define a "F1 param.txt" in /tmp/floppy/syslinux.cfg
Where you give the "linux root=" option and the "parted foo=bar"
option.
Good work,
Keith
