How about telling the booting kernel which device or filesystem 
it comes from (with boot parameters?)?  It would be useful 
especially when many memory cards or USB storage devices with 
kboot.conf are plugged.

I have no concrete idea about the spec.  Probably it cannot use 
Linux's device node names or major/minor numbers for that 
purpose since they would vary between kernels and versions.  Any 
other useful methods?
