NOTE
Several make directive choices exist to create this image, but the most common are
the following:
. zImage makes an uncompressed kernel image.
. bzImage creates a compressed image. Some BIOS??™s cannot parse large images,

. bzDisk creates a compressed image and places it on a floppy disk for testing
purposes. Make sure you have a floppy in your drive before running this directive.
