Re: Feedback on my development setup

Further tweaking to use sda3 for the root partition in the disk, I get
the following: success!

This is a pretty good setup now but it could use an automation harness
and documentation.  I'm willing to make the script and write-up.
Where should I post it?  My inclination would be to submit it
somewhere near https://docs.kernel.org/kernel-hacking/hacking.html .
