Unless I've been fooling myself, it's possible now. Just stop the boot loader during loading by hitting the spacebar and type boot kernelname at the loader prompt This requires that you have saved the /boot/kernelname subdirectory beforehand, for example cp -r /boot/kernel.old /boot/kernel.spare and, on an RPI2, that you have serial console access. It would be very convenient if this were possible on the video console, I gather it's a non-trivial modification. I'm unclear on the situation with other architectures. hth, bob prohaskaReceived on Thu Dec 14 2017 - 16:26:39 UTC
