i don't have a /boot partition, so i can't just have it point to /dev/XdaX
(the /boot partition). when you recompile the kernel, where does it go?
the way i have BootX working, is that i have a "Linux Kernels" folder inside
of my MacOS system folder, so that when i recompile a kernel (which i still
havn't been able to do correctly, but i digress...), i have to mount my HFS
partition that holds MacOS, and do a cp to copy the linux kernel to my
"Linux Kernels" folder, inside of my System folder. i'm not sure if i'm
cp-ing the right thing though... would you happen to know? thanks.

p.s.
if i were to reformat, and make a /boot, does that make it easier to test
out a newly compiled kernel? thanks again.
