Subject: Re: Bug#498151: mechanism for bootloader to know about iso9660
timestamp/uuid
Attached is a patch which requires Robert Millan's patch. It adds
documentation of the feature he added to the manual page and checks the
length of the argument supplied on the command line. It also corrects a
typo in the --help output.
