I've followed the excellent up to date page on http://shantonu.blogspot.com/ for building a stock 10.7 kernel from source so I can experiment later with a modified version.
I realize compiling xnu these days have becomesquicker and easier than with 10.4 and older.
I however wonder:
What is the currently recommended way to define another boot kernel as boot argument?
In my case the filesystem is encrypted (FileVault 2.0), so its being booted through the file vault EFI driver.
I want to be able to go back to my normal kernel easily and quickly in case the experimental fails totally.
Booting to emergency partition and copying kernel file back and forth would be an option but then how to mount encrypted partition in that case?
Just wondering whats the easiest and safest and recommended way
Andreas
