I'm not sure I understand what this means.  Please correct if my
interpretation is incorrect or incomplete:

You intend to 1) just keep the existing 'bootvx' command for
compatibility with older VxWorks versions, and 2) use plain 'bootm'
for new versions, like we do for other OSes?

That sounds good to me.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
