I see you added changes to set the initial cmd config.  Is there any way we can
add a configure line when building the kernel, so I can build a kernel with
different data (ie, my disk is /dev/sda2 and not /dev/sdb2, etc.).  That way it
has a better chance of working if rebooted in the middle of the night due to
power failure.
