Do you have BL installed? If so, you might be able to mount the disk
image as a looped filesystem, then copy the kernel over to your BL
partition. To do this, you'd load the file onto your BL partition. Then,
you's create a mount point: maybe something like
-----------------
mkdir /mnt/deli
-----------------
Then, you'd mount the disk image there. Something like
------------------------------------------------
mount -t ext2 -o loop /path/to/ide.dsk /mnt/deli
------------------------------------------------
Then, you'd surf to the /mnt/deli partition (I use mc, myself), locate the
kernel image and copy it to the regular filesystem. Or maybe to a DOS
partition if you boot from DOS. Then, unmount the looped filesystem:
----------------
umount /mnt/deli
----------------
Could this be done from BL2 ramdisk, Steven?
