It depends on which boot process you are using.  On old-world machines
I know of three: BootX, miboot and quik.  I will assume you are using
BootX since that is the default boot loader for YDL (and it is what I
use on a 7600/200).

For BootX after compiling your kernel you must copy it across to the
MacOS partition.  From memory the kernels go in a `Linix Kernel'
folder in the System folder.  When you boot and get to the BootX panel
you can choose the kernel to boot with from a selection box.  You can
also set the default kernel by a save option after selecting the
kernel.
