You can't simply pkzip the c:\linux without change the /dev/root symlinks!
This has to point the dos disk name. If you run UMSDOS from /dev/hda1, you
have to put:
/dev/root -> /dev/hda1
Maybe this is your problem? Create it booting with a floppy mulinux.
This make complex to distribute such .zip archive. Only a patch in the
kernel may solve the problem. A patch that force /linuxrc also for
installed system: the script SCAN every disk in the system and, if found
it a c:\linux, it create the /dev/root link. Read-root mounting will
follow ...
