.. the same up to step 9, then you need to copy vmlinux-2.4.x-sf to the
Linux Kernels folder within the System Folder on your Mac OS boot partition.
Assuming that your Mac OS boot partition is sda6 (substitute whatever it is
in the following). As root:
10. Make a mount point for the Mac OS boot partition eg mkdir /mnt/sda6
11. mount -thfs /dev/sda6 /mnt/sda6
12. cp /boot/vmlinux-2.4.x-sf /mnt/sda6/"System Folder"/"Linux Kernels"/
13. Reboot and select vmlinux-2.4.x-sf from the drop down list in BootX
