Uh, we're talking boot disks here, not a kernel-image deb for final use.
I asked a while back how to create a modules disk which corresponded to
the modules I'd just created ... from the responses I received I decided
it was easier to make a rescue disk kernel with everything I needed for
install compiled straight in. [ Note that I'm talking about an INSTALL
kernel - one that is placed on a rescue disk ]
