Yep, we need 3 initrd, apus, powerpc and powerpc-small. The two latest
may be reunited later on, but i am not sure about it. apus doesn't need
special stuff for booting though, and can handle separate initrd's. We
just need to include the apusboot program, and maybe a nice script or
icon for it. There were some people i am still in contact with which did
some graphical frontend to apusboot i think, i will see if we can use
it. I guess it is free as in stuff going to contrib. We have the source,
the binary, but you need amigaos toolchain to build it.
