I think it does support symlinks, there's a lot of code in there dedicated to
resolving them, and as evidence, I have /boot -> /zip/boot and /etc/quik.conf
-> /zip/etc/quik.conf and it works fine. You just have to have the kernel and
first/second.b and quik.conf on the same partition when all of the symlinks are
resolved. (I debugged this about a year ago, untangling the symlink-following
logic was quite a chore!)
It sounds like the /vmlinux symlink is broken, is this the case for 2.2R3
images? If so, it's a boot-floppies bug...
