askmethod?

I don't understand this are we talking about the same thing? I'm using
glbf to bootstrap and in its floppy image there is a file 'kernel.opt'
which contains:

--initrd=/sysroot/isolinux/initrd.img /sysroot/isolinux/vmlinuz

which apart from the last entry (which is the kernel to load) are the
kernel options. The iso being booted is the boot.iso from the FC2
distro.
