Actually, this is a BL2 system :) but the kernel is still slimmed down
from a full build kernel.

To do that, I just copy the /kernels/bare.i/bzImage file to my DOS
directory where boot.bat and loadlin.exe is and modify boot.bat so that it
shows:

----------
loadlin bzimage kbd-reset root=/dev/hdb1 ro
----------

is that correct? Or will I need some special flag for loadlin since the
bare.i kernel is bz compressed, and the normal kernel isn't?
