You may also have the proper kernel-image filename specified on the command
line like '-k kernelfilename'. '-k linuxamiga' in your case

'amiboot-5.6 -d -k linuxamiga --keep-video video=cyberfb:1152x886-8
root=/dev/hda7 ro'

e.g. is mine. where '-d' gives you some more detailed info before actual boot
and lets you change your mind before the inevitable AmigaOS dead. '-k'
specifies the kernel filename and so on... All of this is described somewhere
in the docs.
