your favorite text editor /etc/fstab (e.g. emacs fstab or vi fstab).
fstab is just a text file which mount reads when you give it a command and
which, I presume, the kernel reads on bootup and issues mount commands for
your main partitions.

Yes, in the /boot dir. Should be a sym link to a vmlinuz-kernel-version.
I'd reccomend that you name your new kernel in the same way and redirect
