As it says, the /Kernel= switch changes the default file used for the kernel image.
I don't know why you would need or want that, unless at some stage you did some customisation that prevents your use of the default kernel image, Ntoskrnl.exe, for example changing the boot screen
If you google for ntosboot.exe you'll find some examples where that switch was added to the boot.ini file by such modifications of the default install.
Got it fixed, and downloaded SP2. I had to edit the boot.ini file. This required removal of everything after fastdetect which was this information /Kernel=ntosboot.exe Thanks Doogie
