That does not work because the command line is always modified -
at least '\0' are added to split strings.

To be sure I tested that with:

diff --git a/kernel/params.c b/kernel/params.c
index c00d5b5..606058a 100644
--- a/kernel/params.c
+++ b/kernel/params.c
@@ -96,6 +96,7 @@ static int parse_one(char *param,
unsigned int i;
int err;

+ printk("param %d-%d: %s\n", min_level, max_level, param);
/* Find parameter */
for (i = 0; i < num_params; i++) {
if (parameq(param, params[i].name)) {

And without that strcpy() I get:

[...]
param 0-0: ubd0
param 1-1: ubd0
[...]

instead of:

[...]
param 0-0: ubd0
param 0-0: ubd1
param 0-0: raid
param 0-0: hostfs
param 0-0: root
param 1-1: ubd0
param 1-1: ubd1
param 1-1: raid
param 1-1: hostfs
param 1-1: root
[...]

I checked that also without udb parameters.

Thanks,
Krzysiek
