not already mounted before the initrd and kernel image is copied over.
.TP
\fB\-\-\fR[no\-]\fBsymlink\fR
Manages, or does not manage, symlinks in 
.I /boot
like the manual kernel "make install" process does. A
.I kernel
(or, depending on options, 
.I kernelz\fR)
symlink will link to the most recently built kernel image and a
.I kernel.old
(or
.I kernelz.old\fR)
symlink will link to the second most recently built image, if one exists.
Similar symlinks (both * and *.old) are managed for
.I initramfs\fR (or
.I initrd\fR)
and
.I System.map\f.
The corresponding work products (i.e., the actual kernel and inirtamfs images, 
and System.map) are also managed accordingly.  NOTE:  Specifying --symlink 
does nothing unless --install is also specified.
.TP
\fB\-\-no\-initrdmodules\fR
Don't copy any modules to the initrd.
