Well, what I do is: I get a copy of
<http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/powermac/images-1.44/boot-floppy-hfs.img>,
write it to a floppy, compile my custom kernel, get the
vmlinux file on the kernel tree after compilation, compress it
with gzip, rename it to zImage and then copy it to the floppy
with tools from hfsutils.
Works well for trying new kernels with unknown features.
Of course, you shouldn't forget to install the modules and
System.map before you boot with your brand new kernel. :-)
Hope this helps, Roger...
