Or better yet, use aboot. With the ARC/Milo scheme I had problems almost
every time I booted. And it's slow. SRM and aboot is much faster, and it's
the easiest boot loader to reconfigure I've seen for Linux. To change
kernels, you can just copy the file and reboot. I love it!
There are just a couple of catches:
1. you have to partition your disk BSD-style (use fdisk, not cfdisk)
2. aboot doesn't seem to like compressed kernels (easy fix for that)
3. it's not the best documented setup I've seen... (see the SRM-HOWTO)
