Can someone explain how to replace the kernel with an alternate? I would like to replace the existing "zimage" in the DOS loopback version of BL with the "big" kernel "bzimage" if possible. Thanks.

Edit boot.bat, replacing zimage with the name of your alternate kernel.

loadlin bzimage root=/dev/loop0 initrd=initfs.gz rw

This works for a 2.2 but not a 2.4 kernel.

Put the bzimage file into the C:\BASLIN directory
on your DOS partition and edit BOOT.BAT (in the
same directory) to change zimage to bzimage.

The following link is about ISO files, but it describes the creation of
the "directory structure," and may be of use.
