I neglected to post one minor detail.  The system doesn't survive the boot
process.  I've lost the error message, but it says something like "error:
trying to kill init".

My hand-crafted [sic] 2.6.7 kernel is almost completely functional; it's
just that I couldn't figure out how to boot and/or configure the Debian
kernel-image package.

Is that the same thing as `less /var/log/dmesg`?

Thanks, Simon.
