Actually, the best thing to do might be to designate a symbol (say &, like in automount) as "insert the boot loader command line here."

That way you can specify things in the builtin command line that are both prepended and appended to the boot loader command, and if you wish, you can emit it completely.

The default would be just "&".
That idea doesn't suck. I'll take a look at it.

With %s it would be much less code to write.


True; it would just mean that the buildin command line would have to double %'s, but that's not really a problem.

On the other hand, a single-character substitution loop is hardly complex.
