Need help applying aic7xxx patches

Background:

Trying to install Debian 2.0 (linux 2.0.34) on Win95 system with AHA2840
SCSI card.  Originally had BRKADINT errors looping.  Found alternate kernal
(may be modified from bo version) on

	ftp://phys.ocean.dal.ca/users/rhogee/Debian/new-version/linux

which got past that problem and allowed me to complete the installation
process (I think).  Using System Commander, I try to boot Linux from the
root partition I just initialized during intallation.  Now I'm back to the
BRKADINT errors looping over and over again.  Clearly, the kernal that
fixed my installation problems didn't get copied to the hard drive.

Questions:

1) Can someone give me step-by-step instructions on how to make sure the
kernal I install with is the kernal I boot with?

2) Can the 2.0.34 be patched with the latest (pre13?) updates, or do I need
to abandon Debian's distribution?

3) Specifically how does one apply a patch during a from scratch installation?
>From a freshly installed version?  If there's any documentation out there 
telling how to do this, I haven't been able to find it.

Any help greatly appreciated!

-Jerry
