I put a command line interface on Linuxbios v1 a LOOOONG time ago and we
are still using it.
...but at least at the time you weren't interested in the patches. ;-)
We use it to select a kernel image in the ROM, the kernel command line
options and optionally select a initrd image from ROM. ...we have lots
of ROM. ;-)
Cheers!
