I compiled a custom kernel to get udf 2.5 support and it works fine but due to a stupid mistake kboot can't find the kernel when booting. What command can I use at kboot to use /usr/src/linux/vmlinux as my kernel. Or get read+WRITE access to my filesystem with busybox so I canput vmlinux where it belongs.

Just put

mykernel='sda3:/usr/src/linux/vmlinux initrd=...

etc (provided your / is on sda3) in /etc/kboot.conf and it should work.

Or enter it at the kboot prompt. You can invoke a kernel manually by
simply typing the path to it in kboot. You can also use the mount command
to mount/remount any partitions if you want to modify them.

I tried typing in the command exactly like it would be in kboot.conf but it never booted

my partition comes mounted read only and anytime I try unmounting it or just mounting it a second time as rw I get a device is busy error.

I got it figured out.

I finally got my file system remounted rw when I figured out that the system mounted /dev/cdrom in /mnt/root/mnt and that was what stopped me from unmounting /mnt/root

I am back in my system normally now.
