Comments/Problems:
There is no yaboot in the netboot installer directory, nor yaboot.conf,
which conflicts with what the Install instructions. Using the yaboot
found in the woody installer, the initrd.gz for sarge cannot be loaded
(yaboot gives an error message), but the woody installer works fine.
None of the vmlinux+initrd images are netbootable, either.
