+
+<para>
+
+Some &arch-title; subarchs have the option of booting using either a
+2.4.x or 2.2.x linux kernel. When such a choice exists, try the 2.4.x
+linux kernel. The installer should also require less memory when using
+a 2.4.x linux kernel as 2.2.x support requires a fixed-sized ramdisk
+and 2.4.x uses tmpfs.
+
+</para><para condition="etch">
+
+If you are using a 2.2.x linux kernel, then you need to use the &ramdisksize;
+kernel parameter.
+
+</para><para>
+
+</para><para condition="sarge">
+
+Also, if you are using a 2.2.x linux kernel, then you must make sure you
+are using a ramdisk built to accommodate it, see the
+<ulink url="&disturl;/main/installer-&architecture;/current/images/MANIFEST">MANIFEST</ulink>.
+In general, this means you need to use the initrd22.gz ramdisk from the respective
+directory.

+Hardware with two such scsi buses, such as the Quadra 950, will need
+<userinput>mac53c9x=2,0</userinput> instead. Alternatively, the
+parameter can be specified as <userinput>mac53c9x=-1,0</userinput>
+which will leave autodetection on, but which will disable SCSI
+disconnects. Note that specifying this parameter is only necessary
+if you have more than one hard disk; otherwise, the system will run
+faster if you do not specify it.

+
+At least six different ramdisks may be used to boot from the hard

+
+The three different types of ramdisks are <filename>cdrom</filename>,
+<filename>hd-media</filename>, and <filename>nativehd</filename>. These
+ramdisks differ only in their source for installation packages.
+The <filename>cdrom</filename> ramdisk uses a cdrom to get
+debian-installer packages. The <filename>hd-media</filename> ramdisk
+uses an iso image file of a cdrom currently residing on a hard disk.
+Finally, the <filename>nativehd</filename> ramdisk uses the net to
+install packages.
