I believe they ship different kernels for different boards all on one image. Or, at least (used to) ship an rpi1 and rpi2 kernel; not sure if the rpi3 uses the same kernel as the rpi2 (possibly with a different device-tree). > Keep in mind it's not different Debian images we are talking about — > "real" Debian cannot be booted on Raspberry hardware.

Well, I've got three Raspberry PI 2 boards running kernels shipped by debian(either jessie-backports or experimental) and u-boot shipped by debian, but it does require the the GPU firmware to bootstrap the CPU. live well, vagrant
