I think it would be better to put the actual kernel/initrd path (i.e. with the version suffix) directly into the boot.scr rather than creating a link to the kernel just to launch it with. I'd also like to see boot.scr-$version as the actual file and boot.scr as a link to the latest (with f-k creating boot.scr-$version for all installed versions). That's probably a separate project though > The original TODO remarks speak of symlinking, but this would > only work if the destination of the link is on the same > filesystem as the link itself, as the bootloader could not resolve > a cross-filesystem symlink.

I think it would be fine to assume that no separate firmware boot partition was being used in this mode, at least until such a platform turns up (sunxi doesn't want/need it AFAIK).
