If we can keep backwards and forwards compatibility, that would be even better. But it will need a bit of thought. At present, the parser understands lines starting 'kernel', 'initrd', and 'append'. All others are ignored - which at least gives us some possibilities. Also, I'm not quite sure yet how best to organise multiple boot options via a linuxboot.cfg on a CD. That could be a little tricky, but I dont think the option of disallowing it exists - it'd be too inconsistent.
