Bug#630424: Maybe a Problem with "tip22"

[Edwin Kwan <ekwan@stanfordalumni.org>]

	I don't know whether the "kernel" and "initrd" were released 
separately.  But I could extract them from the bad "netboot-boot.img" 
using "objdump" and "dd" by just looking for the symbols 
"__kernel_start", "__kernel_end" and "__rd_start", "__rd_end".  I 
actually modified "ld.script.IP22" by putting "0x89702000" in the start 
address and built myself a netboot image using the extracted "kernel" 
and "initrd".  I got to the installer screen but I don't need to 
reinstall right now. :)
