Bug#249536: wrong kernel path if boot is a separate partition
Package: palo-installer
palo-installer uses a wrong kernel path if the boot partition is
separate from root, e.g. 2/boot/vmlinux instead of 2/vmlinux

Comments/Problems:
When I first installed the system everything seemed to work fine, but
when I rebooted it I found a problem related to the command string to
launch PALO (PA LOader). If you consider the partition 2 as /boot, the
default string is 2/boot/vmlinux instead of 2/vmlinux just because
2=/boot.
After a few tries we, the pa-team guys and I, figured out the problem
and now everything seems to be fine.
Thank you all for the great work
Regards
SteX
