Compiling kernel on iMac for the first time..

["Patrick R. Klee" <drwho@futureks.net>]

Hi,
  I am also recompiling my kernel to get sound to work.  I  want to 
know what I edit to reboot into the kernel, fr example at boot:

boot: Linux (for old kernel)
boot: new (for recompiled kernel)

Follow me?

I have never tried to recompile a kernel on mac OR on PC but i am sure 
it's different.

Cheers,
Patrick
