You'll need than just a kernel to make the disk bootable. As I understand it, the kernel by itself isn't bootable, it needs a loader such as LILO or GRUB.
No, just doing dd if=/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 will result in a bootable disk. It won't work if you normally use initrd (e.g., for a SCSI or filesystem module). Also, you won't be able to pass arguments to the kernel at boot. -- -ckm
