For that purpose it seems easier to have a utility that reads the
config info from a kernel and prints it out. That way you don't have
to boot it. And if it won't boot, you can find out why (e.g., no scsi
support or whatever). The config info could even be in a section that
doesn't get loaded. No doubt this too has been suggested several
times before.
