You just copy the kernel you downloaded to the file "linux" on your boot
disk (hard-drive in this case).

All you need is a kernel with LRP support. The hdsupp.lrp package contains
tools for mounting and running the hard-disk at boot (ie you're running
system uses the HDD...it's not just used to boot), which is also where you'd
likely want to use the ext2 filesystem (which requires the ext2.o module).
For just plain booting from the HDD, and running LRP from ram, which is the
default, you only need a kernel with IDE support. Without knowing more
about your system, the kernel you probably want is:
http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/files/kernels/Eiger/2.2.16-1-LRP-IDE-zImage
Which is the standard Eiger kernel with IDE support enabled.

I've not seen this before, but offhand it sounds like a missing or broken
syslinux.cfg file...make sure you've got a good syslinux.cfg file on your
HDD's boot partition, and it's formatted with a standard FAT filesystem.
