At the risk of sounding like a smart aleck, I would very strongly
suggest that anyone building a test kernel like this on an i386-based
system, do so by doing a 'make bzdisk' and have it expectorate the

So, when this happens, and we're all living in a floppy-less world,
how do then do things like 'make bzdisk' ?
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.
I use grub and I remember from using LILO that it is very easy to set up
the menu to select multiple kernel versions. So, you build your
experimental kernel, store it next to your main kernel, add a lilo.conf
or grub.conf entry for your new kernel, then reboot and choose the
experimental
