Hello,

You could do what I do with my tftp boot directory.
Bootp or whatever points to vmlinux-hostname.
vmlinux-hostname is a symlink to a kernel.
Changing kernels is just a matter of changing the symlink.
Also, because I have multiple arch's, I put the kernels in subdirs too:
[ian@slinky:~]$ ls -l /export/tftpboot/
total 16
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jan 6 16:34 192.168.0.21 ->
