Sorry Maestros, but...
There is no boot.txt in the Linux 2.2 or 2.4 source trees, and if
Al's not also imagining his widely unknown bootloaderless general
parameter passing method, 2 extra execve's in init/main.c is surely
simpler.

(He's probably thinking of the 5 16 bit values you can rdev, as explained
correctly in Documentation/ramdisk.txt, and starkly incorrectly in Linux
man rdev, last I looked. )
