Re: [iPAQ] How to save params in bootldr?

Look in /boot for a params file. If you don't have one, simply
create it with a:

linuxargs="...."

line. Fill in the .... with whatever linuxargs you want. Just
remember if you mess up, you can fix them with the boot loader
itself to get yourself booted up.
