What I'm particularly interested in are these questions:
  1. Where exactly are the zImage and initrd files located on the iLiad?
  2. Is there any way to access / change / read them?
  3. How do we provide new zImage & initrd files to replace the old ones when we upgrade the system?
  4. What about the super-secret only-in-case-of-emergencies kernel? Where is that kept, and how might it be accessed?
I threw in question #4 because I'm interested in that part of the boot process that happens before init is called -- that is, the intra-kernel boot time and how long it takes.

But for starters, the answers to questions #1-#3 would be very useful.
