Confused about boot partition layout.

Hmm ok.. so I am sure I am probably being dense here, but I was expecting when I copied the 'boot' partition off the phone (mmcblk0p22) and then extracted it I would find the initlogo.rle somewhere. Only I don't.

Done!
I notice there seems to be extra partitions I am not familiar with maybe this is the answer?
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 14 12:11 aboot -> ../../mmcblk0p20
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 14 12:11 abootbak -> ../../mmcblk0p21
Does aboot contain 'android' boot stuff, ie the normal logo/kernel?
What am I missing? Is that ghastly bright white Sony logo part of the kernel? In which case how do I go about extracting that and replacing it?
On previous custom roms never seemed to be an issue because there was a boot.img file with everything in it.
Really curious now.
Thanks.
