(The above quotes are from the bug log for Debian bug number 505609.)
This led me to believe that, for lilo and zipl anyway, specifying
do_bootloader = yes
in /etc/kernel-img.conf would be sufficient to get the boot loader
run when "update-initramfs -u" is executed at least through and
including the Squeeze release. But in Squeeze+1 this "fallback", as
Max put it, will no longer work and therefore a new architecture
will be needed. Did I misunderstand something?
