       | Project Managers call that "risk management". I sometimes get the

       | that's required for you in the bootloader is to select a boot
       | medium and bootspec does everything else. barebox takes it one
       | step further and supports a linux-appendroot option, which
       | automatically appends a file-system specific root= option to the
       | kernel command line. That way you can have multiple slots with
       | the same bootspec (e.g. for A/B booting scenarios) and you can
       | transparently boot the same rootfs whether it's locally on SD,
       | NAND or even on NFS. Good stuff.

       | (Disclosure: I do get paid to work on barebox. This post is on my
       | own dime though :^)
