Simply copy the kernel to the /boot directory.
Now add an entry to /etc/lilo.conf file, similar to the others, but with a
unique label.
Now run "lilo" at the prompt so that the boot loader is updated.
Also in the message, you mentioned "loadlin" . For that you will
have to copy the kernel to the DOS folder where loadlin resides.
Then try "loadlin <kernel>" with whatever other arguments are
required.
