1 Right, as per my last e-mail that's why I committed
2 -r4 of baselayout, so it would read the /proc/cmdline
3 to get if cdroot was passed to the kernel, and it now
4 exports CDBOOT still building to try to see if it works.
5 And changing the fs when creating a livecd is not an acceptible
6 solution like the previous scripts did, this is much more
7 graceful.
