  files are taken from kern1.flp nad kern2.flp on 5.4-RELEASE/floppies
 
 cat kernel.gz.aa kernel.gz.ab  kernel.gz
 gunzip kernel.gz

You're still missing the first part of the file.

You also need to grab kernel.gz.boot from the boot.flp image.

Then you can do a:

  cat kernel.gz.boot kernel.gz.aa kernel.gz.ab  kernel.gz

Take a look at src/release/scripts/split-file.sh to see how these files are
generated.

Useful if you want to do an install with a custom kernel, without
building a whole release.

That makes sense.  Do you know offhand what the other file on the boot 
floppy is for (kernel.gz.split, I believe)?

.. or I could just follow your advice:

 are generated.

Sorry for the noise.

(kenel.gz.split is the split index file)
