Yeah, that's exactly what I meant by "Catalyst option".  Oh, I see, you
thought I meant command line option.  My bad: I meant a spec file option
(in my first message I think I also used that name, actually :-))

Hm.  Which one of these do you modify to install your linuxrc into
/tmp/mergeroot?  It seems like boot/kernel/runscript (which isn't
documented in the 1.x release notes AFAICT) runs when you're already in
the chroot, so that's too late... no?
