A simple 'dd if=/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage of=/dev/fd0' will give you a bootable floppy. Not sure about passing the options of the command line. But kernel compilation is pretty easy. Be sure you have the source unpacked in /usr/src/linux. Then copy /boot/config-2.4.15 to /usr/src/linux/.config (or whatever your current kernel config is). Then do a 'make oldconfig' first if your source is newer than your currect kernel and 'make menuconfig' after that to enable scsi emulation. Then you can compile simply by 'make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && cp arch/i386/bzImage /vmlinuz-2.4.17 && cp .config /boot/config-2.4.17' Then reconfigure /etc/lilo.conf (don't forget the append="hdc=scsi") and you should be able to boot without problems.
