There is no reason to have a separate installbkernel program (in fact,
there is no reason for a separate binstall.sh either). If it is for
some odd reason necessary for these programs to know when they have
been invoked for a large kernel, just add a format parameter to the
invokation (consisting of either of the words "zImage" or "bzImage").
