-    mv $release/bvme6000/linux                   $release/bvme6000/linuxbvme6000
+    mv $release/bvme6000/linux.bin                   $release/bvme6000/linuxbvme6000

This will leave a kernel without a .bin extension in the disk-<arch> tree.
Of course, if you change that, you'll need to fix up tftplilo.{conf,txt} as
well, probably.

-       -c "0/linux HOME=/ root=/dev/ram initrd=0/ramdisk"
+       -c "0mnt/linux.bin HOME=/ root=/dev/ram initrd=0/ramdisk"

Don't know if you intended to add that 'mnt' there, but in any case, the
first parameter in that string should remain "0/linux" regardless of
what the actual kernel is called.

-etc/terminfo/l/linux
+etc/terminfo/l/linux.bin

I assume that is a mistake, termtype hasn't changed to linux.bin

Note, I've only had a quick scan of your patch, I havn't tried to build
with it applied.
