kernel-package automatically manages symlinks /vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old
for the current and previous kernels, so if you add these to your
yaboot.conf, no further hackery is needed...
(Maybe you want to add a known good kernel from /boot additionally, just
in case both /vmlinux and /vmlinux.old are broken, which can happen after
installing 2 broken kernels in a row.)
