You can redirect the output to a file with the > symbol. You can also pipe it through more as in demsg | more. The file you wanted after the make bzImage command is /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage. Just copy the file to the linux file name on your rescue floppy. Then cd to the floppy directory and rdev linux /dev/fd0. Try customizing the kernel again, and see if you don't have better luck.
