updmodules (in misc/src/trees on install directory structure), builds
a set of module dependancies for the install/BOOT kernel.
However it only allows one line of depandancies per module, and depmod
outputs one line of dependancy data *per* depedancy.
Hence this code:-
    /sbin/depmod -m $KERNELROOT/boot/System.map-$version -i -e *.o | \
          grep ':.*o' | \   ...etc

screws up the NFS dependancies for boot set built with 2.2.16 kernels.

I did a quick hack to fix this:-
    /sbin/depmod -m $KERNELROOT/boot/System.map-$version -i -e *.o | \
	  perl -pe 's/\\\n//' | \
          grep ':.*o' | \

its not good or pretty, but it works :-)

Obviously other things need modifying for 2.2.16 due to size constraints
but this one is a design showstopper
