	From man kernel-img.conf:
       link_in_boot
              Set to Yes if you want the symbolic link to  the  kernel  image,
              namely,  vmlinuz  in  /boot rather than the default /.  The old,
              and very confusing, name image_in_boot is deprecated,  since  it
              is  the symbolic link that is usually being relocated.  Defaults
              to No.
