That is the linux-non framebuffer kernel. It will not run Aurora, so no
graphical startup, but its memory footprint is lower if you are using X, and
its speed should be slightly better. Also, Quake II and Quake III, among
other games, do not like to run with a framebuffer kernel, so it is
appropriate to boot nonfb if you are going to play graphic-intensive games.
