The ramdisk part has been explaned.
(b)zlilo makes the image, places it in the root directory, unless otherwise
defined in the Makefile, option =
# INSTALL_PATH specifies where to place the updated kernel and system map
# images. Uncomment if you want to place them anywhere other than root.
#INSTALL_PATH=/boot
and then runs lilo for you, it copys the old image to vmlinuz.old and
System.map to .old, unfortunaly if there is anything wrong with the
compile, like you forgot to define ide support ;-) then it possably will
render your machine unbootable without a floopy (rescue) disk.
