Problem on customizing kenel

[Yi-ping Chang <yxc14@psu.edu>]

Hi, Everybody:

I am trying to customize my kernel.  Basically, I followed the
instruction on Debian FAQ.  After 'make menuconfig', I typed in

make-kpkg --revision Custom.1 kernel_image

It didn't finish the job.  The last couple lines of message are as
follows:

make [2]: as86: Command not found
make [2]: *** [bbootsect.o] Error 127
make [2]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.34/arch/i386/boot'
make [1]: *** [bzImage] Error 2
make [1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.34'
make: *** [build] Error 2

Did I do anything wrong?  What's is 'as86'?  Is there any extra package
I should install to accomplish the job?

Thank a lot!
