Bug#343674: arm/netwinder: nobootloader gives wrong kernel path

Second, in the end of installation a screen comes up with the
recommended settings for the firmware environment variables,
required to make the machine bootable from the hard drive. Among
other things, it advises the user to set the kernel filename
(kernfile) variable to /vmlinuz.  However, in the installation
process the kernel is placed into /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-netwinder and
no /vmlinuz symlink is created, so the system is unbootable with
this setting. Either this screen should be corrected, or /vmlinuz ->
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-netwinder symlink should be created.

What does
   ls -l /boot
say?

Hi Martin,

Sorry for the delay, I've had some hardware failures to deal with. Here's the output of ls -l /boot on a freshly-installed netwinder:

jurij@debian:~$ ls -l /boot/

Please let me know if you need any other information.
