Don't start with a blank kernel take one which is running and
you are happy with.  Copy it to temp and run kconfig on it
"kconfig -n /tmp/unix". What you need to change is ROOTDEV so
the appropriate incantation is ROOTDEV=0x0500. Use ftp or
whatever to get your kernel onto a MacOS disc and run it by
typing "launch -fm macdisc:unix" to sash.
