means that it is possible to boot with bootx on oldworld, and that the default -powerpc-small that was selected in kernel-installer is probably not the right solution. A "kernel to use" kind of question might be welcome, and maybe there could also be some kind of auto-probing for which kernel was booted. BTW, these kind of things have more their place on the debian-boot mailing list, so i forward this there.
