Since it's an image, I can basically copy the kernel from the bootdisk to the harddrive of another PC by doing
mcopy a:linux /boot/vmlinuz
Right? The reason why I'm asking is because I have this other PC and I'd like to use the same kernel on it.
Nope, sorry :( The m<whatever> commands only work for DOS formatted floppys. Your best bet is probably copying it off the original computer onto a formatted floppy and copying it off that floppy. I had thought that you could 'dd' it off the floppy, but that wouldn't work, because it would take an image of the whole floppy. Other ideas anyone?

The boot disk is not a filesystem. It is a kernal image with a bootstrap.
Yup, that would be right if it was made by something like 'make bzdisk' or the like.

: I' trying to mount my boot disk but I don't know exactly which filesystem I need to use as an option. By the way, is there a listing of every available filesystem somewhere in the documentation?
