:Hi,
:When I enter into the boot prompt and run "boot kernel.old", i can see
:modules being loaded from /boot/modules, instead of /boot/modules.old. Its
:not very intuitive. Is this a bug?

It isn't really a bug, its just a lack of implementation in the
loader.
Hmm. I've been wanting to go to a /boot/<directory>/{kernel + modules}
setup for a while, I'm glad you brought this up. I will mess around a
bit today and see if I can implement the model I want. It will be a
nice break from the kernel work.
