You can place any compressed Linux kernel on this disk, and it should boot.
To do so:
Configure the kernel with the following facilities linked in: initrd,
ramdisk, loop, msdos, fat, minix, elf, ext2fs, procfs.
Make your kernel with "make bzImage".
Copy it to "linux" on the boot disk.
Change directory to the boot disk and run ./rdev.sh to configure the kernel.
Optionally edit syslinux.cfg to add arguments to the "DEFAULT"
line, or add an "APPEND" line with arguments to be appended to any
user-typed command line as well as the default.
Documentation to read:
/usr/lib/syslinux/readme*
"man rdev"
/usr/src/linux/documentation/ramdisk.txt
Source code:
The scripts that create this disk and the other Debian bootstrap disks
are installed in /usr/src/boot-floppies/ by the boot-floppies package.
