i make use of the KERNEL_PARAMS variable when creating custom
debian-installer CDs, but after trying to build a powerpc image, noticed
that it is only supported on i386 and amd64... why should other
architectures miss out on the fun?
please consider the attached patch (untested) to add support for
KERNEL_PARAMS to powerpc, alpha and sparc.
not sure how the other arches work to even try...
live well,
