its not black magic at all, its called the `partition=' configuration
variable.  install the yaboot from woody and rtfm. (the yaboot.conf(5)
man page in potato did suck somewhat since it was based on quik's.
the one in woody is based on silo).  

with woody's yaboot all you would have to do is setup your ext2 /boot
and run yabootconfig.
