I found if i created /dev/sda2 as a PReP Boot partition type and just dd'd to it then it work'd without having to use a boot floppy... Problem I ran into is it seems like the 2.4 kernel images are building the standard vmlinuz-2.4.x and a vmlinux.coff-2.4.x... With the 2.2 kernel it just created the first... So my problem is which do I need to dd to the boot partition? I agree it really should have a lilo-like boot loader to make it easier or somehow manage to get the mechanics that install the kernel packages to handle this situation properly...
