Lets take this approach.
Now my problem is:
I use a disk with one partition. I put the kernel on thr proper location and
install lilo/grub on it. Will this work? I think the boot loader will be
looking for a normal setup, not this hack.
Another option is still is making a boot floppy, that will mount /dev/hda (the
raw disk image) as /. (Thanks Tim).
