>Description:

	So it turns out that the generic kernel hangs on my 
	main system, idiom.com.   It also turns out tha the 
	hand-built kernel I had already made does not.  It also
	turns out that you can't easily replace the kernel on
	the boot floppy.

	Okay, so I need to make a new boot floppy with the 
	kernel that works.  Simple?  

	Nope.  Makefiles must be hacked to avoid compiling the
	world. 

	Perhaps I missed a Fine Manual.  Perhaps there is an
	easier way.   I haven't got it working yet, so perhaps 
	there are more problems yet to be faced.
