The kernel is a file on the DVD, not buried in the squashfs filesystem -
the kernel is needed to mount that filesystem. Given the limited number
of files on the DVD it quickest to send the lot to file.
% find -type f -exec file {} + | grep kernel
./boot/memtest86: Linux x86 kernel
./isolinux/gentoo: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage.....
./isolinux/kernels.msg: ASCII text
