Yes, that was the point of my message. OTOH, the sarge d-i says that quik
won't work with a /boot partition separated from a root partition.
This is, anyway, a major annoyance regarding the way quik works.
It would be so nice if it were possible to have a unified bootloader for
both oldworld and newworld machines that understood symlinks (the config
file for quik mentions that it doesn't know how to follow symlinks).
Thanks for your feedback, Rogério.
