Build kernel
make modules_install
cp kernel into tftpboot
mkinitrd into the tftpboot
mv /lib/modules dir into the NFS image
Same as any other build for another box really

Ahhh .. out logiced ! I was trying to match the modules to the kernel,
but I guess I can just downgrade both kernel+modules... doh! If I do
that don't I also need to copy the new system.map into the nfs /boot ? I
get the idea now.
Thanks,
