Hello,
if you use kernel-package, you can just run this:
make-kpkg --added-patches foo ...
See man make-kpkg for more details.
If you want to patch your kernel source tree permamently (or there is no 
debian package for the patch), you can use this commands:
cd /path/to/kernel/source
cat /path/to/patch|patch -p1

 2. How do I lowformat one of my partitions?
 (without booting up the installation)
If you use ext2:
mke2fs /dev/hdXn

If you prefer ext3:
mke2fs -j /dev/hdXn

 Jakob

In your kernel's source directory do for instance:

patch -p1  /path/to/my.patch

Then compile as normal.

But is this the answer to the question you asked?
