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.
