Problems with loadlin

Hello,

I am using Slackware 96 - 2.0.27 kernel. I use a UMSDOS setup.

I have installed the system and can boot off a floppy OK and can run Linux
OK using my UMSDOS file system. I re-compiled my kernel to suit my system.
If I do a zdisk I can boot OK off a floppy using the new kernel.

I have a problem when I use Loadlin.exe - I get a message stating "file is
not an image" My command line is 

d:\loadlin\loadlin.exe d:\linux\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 rw

If I compile the kernel with make zdisk - I get a 1.44 that loads OK. If I
do a make zImage I get a new kernel as vmlinuz in the / directory. I have
tried copying vmlinuz to a DOS directory (i.e. d:\loadlin) and I get the
same error

What am I doing wrong?

Advice please,
Col.
