Will it be possible to select different access modes for different
images, something along the lines of the following pseudo lilo.conf
extract?
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
access=in8G
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.10
label=10
access=in8G
image=/boot/fd0
label=fd0
access=normal
unsafe
Best wishes from Riley.
