IOW, the bootable kernel you built isn't quite bootable :(.

A cursory grep in /dev and in the linux source code documentation show
nothing for device 16. What media are you trying to boot from?

Once you make oldconfig you still have to make a bootable image. 
'make zdisk' is preferable in that you can store the bootable image on
a floppy and not risk fscking up your setup :).
