Thanks for the try Martin, but that didn't give me what I need.  My /boot only
has the following in it:

total 703
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         1024 Dec 16 10:10 .
drwxr-xr-x  20 root     root         1024 Dec 24 13:12 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         4536 Nov 21  1997 boot.b
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          300 Nov 21  1997 chain.b
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          444 Dec 12  1997 mbr.b
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          308 Nov 21  1997 os2_d.b
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       704533 Dec 16 10:03 vmlinuz-2.0.34

All of these are binary files.  Also, I didn't compile my Kernel, if I did,
I'd have the options :) - but I did use the 2.0.34 distribution from the
Debian site.  

So, any other guesses on how I can get the default options that my Kernel was
compiled with?
