Hi Peter,
I usually put the vmlinuz from the CRUX CD into
/boot. I do it before attempting to compile any kernel and get
the machine up and running. Do the kernel next day ( yes it takes
forever.)
I usually do it by opening a second console before that chroot bit, so
that I have access to the CD from there. Look at /boot, copy the file to
/mnt/boot. Write the lilo.conf to use it. I am able to change from
the chrooted to not-chrooted as often as I like.
best wishes,
clare
