Try going via a floppy, since the vmlinuz file is less than 1 meg.
1. format a doss floppy, using either OS
2. boot Linux
3. mount floppy eg. "mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy" assuming
/mnt/floppy is your mount directory
4. copy kernel image eg. "cp /boot/vmlinuz /mnt/floppy"
5. boot doss/windoze and copy the kernel image to c:\.
6. make a doss batch file including the line "loadlin c:\vmlinuz
root=/dev/hdb" or whatever partition is Linux root.
Enjoy!

PS: an alternative is to use a boot floppy which saves having to load
windoze first :-).
