I've written a loader which loads kernel = binaries from /mint/ and allows the kernel to process the remainder of = the auto folder (some ugly DTA magic was needed, but it's the same ugly = magic that's already in the kernel init code (init.c, = get_my_name()).

#define MINTDIR        "c:\\mint"
There's better way = -- env variable called SYSDIR (try echo $SYSDIR in shell = :)

That'll be tricky :) = Because SYSDIR isn't available when the mintloader = starts!
