+<application>netabootwrap</application> merges <filename>net_aboot</filename>,
+kernel and initrd
+images to build the network bootable image for Linux/Alpha systems.
+<filename>net_aboot.nh</filename> will not be usable but
+<application>netabootwrap</application> has all
+the functions. Without options, It'll look for <filename>vmlinux.gz</filename>

++ <filename>vmlinux.gz</filename>.
