several kernels?

[AUSTIN MURPHY]

I use a number of different kernels depending on which class is defined.
Put all your kernels in fai/files/packages and make a file MYCLASS.var
in fai/class that assigns the variable "kernelimage" to the name of the
correct kernel package.

For example, here is my kernel:
fai/files/packages/kernel-image-2.4.19-sun4u_ULTRA1.02_sparc.deb

fai/class/ULTRA1.var :
kernelimage=kernel-image-2.4.19-sun4u_ULTRA1.02_sparc.deb

The script fai/scripts/DEFAULT/S01 automatically takes care of installing
the kernel, you just have to put your kernel in the right place and let
FAI know what its name is.

I hope this helps.
