I note:

        * scripts/rescue/install.sh (1.17): Put symlinks to kernel back in
        "/", rather than in "/boot".

        * utilities/dbootstrap/bootconfig.c (1.48): * bootconfig.c
        (BC_LILOTEMPLATE): Look for images in "/" rather than in "/boot"
        again.


Karl, you have *really* high confidence that a change this fundamental
hasn't broken other stuff?

I guess it looks safe enought but this is normally the kinda stuff
(cosmetic) which I don't want to do so close to 2.2.9 release.
