Do I get that right that you are asking on how to install a kernel on client?
I'm just a bit confused because all of the text removed above was about the
kernel that the client will boot during installation...

Anyway, if my guess is correct: Are you planning to install a distro-kernel
like linux-image-2.6 or do you want to install your custom built kernel? If the
latter is true, have you built a Debian-package using make-kpkg or do you intend
to install the plain binaries (including modules)?

As all variants mentioned above require a different approach, please answer
these questions before we can help you further on.

Regards,
Michael

PS.: Sorry for the very outdated manual, we are trying to fix that as soon as
possible...
