Ok, I've looked at this a bit more;

In balloon.h I have:

#define PARAMS_FILE "/boot/boot.conf"

I'm going to assume that this means partition=boot file=boot.conf, if that
isn't correct then thats probably my problem because I don't have a
/boot/boot.conf in my root file system.

Now PARAMS_FILE is only used in 2 places and only one of them is a read, in
command_params_load. There are no direct calls to that, but since it's a
"command" I assume there is some other way of invoking it which I haven't found.

Can someone detail the path through the code for the linux-boot sequence or
otherwise explain how it's supposed to work.
