Hmmm... a quick look through the Makefile's in /usr/src/linux/,
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386, and /usr/src/linux/i386/boot _do_ show a boot
target, but no bboot. I'm not sure what make boot does, but apparently it
doesn't handle big kernels automatically.
There _is_ a bzdisk equivalent to zdisk, however.

Unix _is_ user friendly. It's just very selective about who its friends
are. And sometimes even best friends have fights.
