You "cpin" the file, then.
Instructions:
	1. Copy the kernel file into the same folder as the Installer, [*]
	2. Run the Installer and invoke the "mini-shell" from File menu,
	3. "Copy-in" the kernel file into MacBSD root filesystem by the
	"cpin" command, like "cpin netbsd /netbsd" (where you should
	replace "netbsd" with the actual name of your file).

[*] Not strictly necessary, but it makes it easier to do the job.

Why not get the current source and integrate Taras' grf driver in it?
