Here's the output of ls -l /boot on a freshly-installed netwinder: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24 2005-07-18 10:50 vmlinuz -> > vmlinuz-2.4.27-netwinderRight, the symlink is there, so why shouldn't it work? In fact I just made an installation myself and it works without any problems.
As I've mentioned in my original report, the problem is that at the last screen before reboot the user is given instructions on how to set up the firmware variables in order to boot the machine from the disk. And there it says that /vmlinuz is the correct path, and *not* /boot/vmlinuz. If one sets up the firmware variables using these instructions, the machine is going to be unbootable.
