kexec-loader is a Linux-based bootloader that aims to fit on a floppy and have a grub-like interface and configuration system. It loads kernels using the kexec system calls. License: BSD License (revised) Changes:
Directives for creating devices were removed; inodes for all devices should be included with the initramfs. mkinitramfs.sh was redesigned to create a CPIO archive and to use fakeroot if the script is not being run as root. A separate debug console and /proc/kmsg monitor were added. Support was added for detecting ext2, ext3, XFS, ReiserFS, minix, FAT, and NTFS filesystem types. The list_devices() function was implemented; pressing L at the menu displays a list of all devices listed in /proc/diskstats.
