Another way would be to:

dd if=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0-test10 of=/dev/fd0

replace the if value to whatever the exact kernel version you're using (if
it's a redhat release kernel, don't forget to add the release token to the
end like 2.4.0-test10-2 or whatever version they have out. i don't pay
attention).

This way is the way that the installation does it.. drawback is that it
doesn't have the rescue, etc, options at the boot: prompt. But it's great if
you killed the data in the MBR and need to get right back in :)
