No, there is no "-BOOT" kernel anymore.  Typically, the current i586 UP kernel 
is considered the "BOOT" kernel.

buildinstall is pretty cool in that you can put any kernel in your distribution 
and buildinstall will use that kernel as your "-BOOT" kernel and generate boot 
images (pxe and otherwise) based on it.
