There are almost no issues.  Just make sure it supports ramdisks, floppy
disks, and the minix filesystem, and basically any kernel of any version
will work just fine just by running unpack.s, replacing 1/zImage, and then
running buildit.s

The kernel ramdisk driver rd.c will not load the ramdisk from a floppy,
anyway.  I have a patch for that but have not applied it.  For putting
tomsrtbt onto a flash, of course you will have to change all the
parameters in settings.s and run buildit.s, you cannot, of course, just
put tomsrtbt.raw there, since it has a configured lilo and root
filesystem.  But even once you do that, you must patch your kernel rd.c
file if you want it to work.
