Re: [U-Boot] [RFC] Extend 'bootm' to support Linux kernel generated images

...

If someone really wants such a trial and error approach, he can still do this without adding code that affects everybody with just a little scripting - like "bootm $addr || bootz $addr || ...".

That's not the usecase really. The usecase is roughly "I just want to boot what the kernel build spit out and not have to guess the command".

How about if we added a new command, 'boota[uto]' to make a few stabs at guessing the format? The first problem that pops to mind here is passing around some flag to make sure that bootm doesn't get this new behaviour.

For the record, boota would be nice. Count me as one of developers that dislike the extra steps...
