Then the manifest is wrong. And vmlinuz is not bootable "as is". You

You does not need to modify vmlinuz for netboot. You may use something like syslinux to boot it.


You're right.
Then why does the make netboot produce a mini.iso file and why doesn't
it associate vmlinuz withe the correct pxelinux.0 and config file ?

I do not know how d-i build system works but:
 mini.iso file is not always needed. I use only vmlinuz and initrd.gz.
 pxelinux.0 is part of the syslinux package.

And maybe the same question applies to alpha architecture as there is
only a vmlinuz and an initrd.gz in the debian ftp server.

I know nothing about alpha
