Re: installing kernel-image
Debian did not use initrd per default with 2.2.x. Was it possible ?
Actually you cannot define a default boot configuration with aboot.conf.
You just define several boot scenarios, identified by the first number
in the line: 0, 1, 2 etc. You choose a specific scenario at the SRM
console:
boot dka0 -flags 0
or
boot dka0 -flags 1
or
boot dka0 -flags l
The flags are passed over to aboot. So "-flags l" will let aboot
display the configured scenarios and give you a command line.
