kernel install target

[Josip Rodin <joy@entuzijast.net>]

Hi,

Is it just me or is it a bit strange that the vanilla kernel makefiles don't
include an 'install' target for sparc?

Just now I did the following, and all went well:

% gzip -c vmlinux > vmlinuz; sudo installkernel 2.6.20.4 vmlinuz System.map 
In order to use the new kernel image you have just installed, you
will need to reboot the machine.  First, however, you will need to
either make a bootable floppy diskette, re-run LILO, or have GRUB
installed.

Checking for ELILO...No

Checking for LILO...No

Checking for SILO...Yes

SILO is installed. To automatically switch to new kernels, point your
default entry in silo.conf to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20.4
% 

Sounds like the arch/sparc/boot/Makefile should be patched to call
a arch/sparc/boot/install.sh, which would be trivial to write?
