 Used 'yum' to install a new kernel onto XO-1 system with build os2.  This
 put the new files into /boot.

 First, I tried the "copy" methodology described in /boot/README for
 "unpartitioned layout".  Booted - but the previous kernel is what was
 loaded.

 Dan Drake then said "XO-1 is now using partitions".

  [[BR]]
 But when I tried the "copy" methodology described in /boot/README for
 "partitioned layout",  I encountered two problems:

   * In my running xo1 buld os2, /bootpart is an empty directory
   * I was unable to determine WHAT ought to be mounted on /bootpart

 Doing 'ls -la /dev/ub*' shows me only two applicable device entries -
 '/dev/ubi0' (which I presume is the whole nand), and '/dev/ubi0_0 (which
 is the partition containing the mounted root filesystem).  There is NO
 separate partition listed for /bootpart !!

 Net result:  I am unable to apply the /boot/README instructions as written
 for "partitioned layout".
