Package: nobootloader
Version: 1.02
Severity: minor

For i386, the dialog that displays the instructions for setting up the 
bootloader, shows "the /vmliuz kernel" instead of "the 
vmlinuz-2.4.27-1-386 kernel".

So, please remove the leading slash and add the full version info.

Cheers,
FJP

This was never picked up again, so I'm just closing this bug report.
