Maybe you can add some brief instructions about how to flash a machine
to use SRM (or put in a reference to the SRM HOWTO - unfortunately,
it's a bit out of date though and doesn't contain an up-to-date
location of the SRM binaries). I have at least one box which doesn't
have SRM so I could even test this.

English.

Yes, aboot had the right partition information (only the "console=.."
was missing).
