Kernel image

(In 2003: The preferred method is to download along with the kernel a ramdisk that sets up a initial root filesystem, which is then used to mount the real root filesystem. www.ltsp.org does it this way.)

After building the kernel and ramdisk, run mkelf-linux from the Etherboot distribution on it. Install this boot image as /tftpdir/<bf attribute in bootptab>.
