Description
- final OS kernel is the more feature rich one, which gets more frequent upgrades
- LinuxBoot kernel has a smaller subset of features, is typically not generic
- some appliances do use a single kernel that could be loaded directly (from U-Boot SPL etc), stored in a small flash part, but that is for cost reasons and rather the exception
