Beats me, although to be honest, I've had the same problem on Alpha for a couple of years, although it's been months since I've booted my Alpha, much less built a kernel for it.
Clearly, it will be a bit trickier to do experimental kernel builds. The thing
that caught my attention in the ongoing discussion was the automatic
invocation of LILO. I was not aware that that was the case, but since it's
been a couple of years since I've built a kernel that wasn't on a floppy, I
guess I'm just ignorant.
I suspect that we'll all have to get used to being very, very careful about what /boot/System.map points to, and what kernels are called what in /boot and so forth. I haven't tried booting a SCSI ZIP disk, but that might be one possibility IMNSHO.
