The kernels are all in one partition. It's /boot under RH, /red/boot under
Debian. For debian, /boot is a symlink to /red/boot/debian, so all my debian
stuff is in a subdir. Rather complicated, I know.
The system with the relevant lilo.conf isn't speaking to the world yet, but I
think I can mail the file out under a separate cover. It should appear on the
list shortly after this message.
