Exactly what I had happen. Someone was nice enough to point out to me the
*right* way <g>...

In your linux root (with the Makefile) is vmlinux. Move that to
/boot/vmlinux-xxx, then edit palo.conf (second line has the kernel you're
wanting to boot by default). Then, run palo (gives you a two-line 'before'
and 'after' which should show the new kernel) and reboot.

Don't think there's any way other than manual - 'make install' isn't
working yet AFAIK.

Recover by using 'boot pri ipl' at the initial boto menu, then change your
kernel name to the last one you used.
