OK, well you grab an existing one (preferably one of the larger ones like “scsinet.s”), put it on a floppy, and do this: mount /dev/fd0 /mnt (this mounts it) cat zImage > /mnt/vmlinuz (put the new kernel in place) rdev -R /mnt/vmlinuz 0 (mount read-write) rdev /mnt/vmlinuz /dev/fd0u1440 (use that drive, or /dev/fd0h1200) rdev -r /mnt/vmlinuz 49152 (enable the ramdisk) lilo -r /mnt (reinstall lilo) umount /mnt (that’s it! you’re done!
