You need to manually transfer the newly installed kernel and the
corresponding initrd to the "Linux Kernels" folder in the system
folder of your Mac OS partition.  Then when BootX comes up, tell it to
use those two for booting.  The kernel selection is obvious, the
initrd selection is somewaht hidden behind the "More Options..."
button.

Only use quik if you are sure that you never want to use Mac OS in any
way again.  And that includes running firmware updaters and stuff like
that, so think twice.

Regards, Jens.
