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

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?

Yup, that would be right if it was made by something like 'make bzdisk' or
The DOS utility is 'rawrite.exe'.  Mandrake includes it in their distro.
You can also find it at the website of 'doslinux'
      http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/
which, BTW, is a very nice rendering of a Linux bootable from Windows.
