Do you know when you can do this?

Now I'm thinking of it, I've only changed the argument parsing for
normal mode, please have a look if you want to change this for rescue
mode too.

And while I was reading the multiboot sourcecode I noticed that I
forgot something else.  The multiboot loader needs to supply the
arguments to the kernel but with the current parser it is not
possible.  This can be fixed basely by making it possible to turn
parsing off.

Thanks,
