1)Computer boots
2)Basic OS kernel boots
3)Read hardware Config
4)Setup PnP devices
5)Device Drivers Loads
6)...
I think we can modify the Linux Kernel boot sequence:
-- so that we can save one reboot!
1)Linux Kernel boots
2)Init runs
3)an rc script reads the hardware info (registry for Linux?)
4)the script runs a program to config the PnP devices
5)the script loads the modules for the PnP devices
6)normal startup sequence...
** By 'script' I mean the script + the necessary programs.
This is the basic idea. Will this work??
