I'm fairly sure this worked on sarge. Maybe kernel-package changed in
the meantime and no longer generates the symlink on ARM; or maybe
nobootloader needs to be changed. I'll look into this, but I'm
currently visiting family and friends and don't have access to my
Netwinder.
Thanks for all your feedback.
