In your /boot dir there should be a symlink called /boot which is linked |
| 17 |
to /boot! So when you have a seperate partition for your /boot area, |
| 18 |
using /boot/vmlinuz will stay valid through the entire boot process. So then |
| 19 |
your second line can read... |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda? ... |
