Hm, so I went looking for the answer to this on the kernel hacking
lessons, but discovered that I left that part out.  How did anyone
figure out how to do anything? :)

On x86, the image you want is in:

<your source tree>/arch/i386/boot/bzImage

You should copy this to somewhere - I suggest:

/boot/mykernel

The instructions on how to set up LILO are under the "Boot Your New
Kernel" link on this page:

And if I'm really cool, tonight I'll add grub instructions and correct
the glaring omission of what file to copy where.
