A standard kernel image assumes that its boot sector was loaded off of a floppy, and attempts to load the remainder of the kernel. I patched the setup code to work when netbooted, but I lost the source. :( However, if you want a copy of the bootsector, I can send you one (and maybe disassemble/recreate the source).
