after kernal compile, I forgot "make install"

Dear Experts

System, 4 Debian amd64 penguins. testing, slightly differernt configuration.

An idiot (=me) did something silly.

After system upgrade (apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade), new kernel (6.6.15) compiled. (make oldconfig; make) without error.
I forgot to "make install" before update-grub

Something starts to go wrong.

One penguin did not reboot, but bios (UEFI ?) screen shows up, and unable to boot Debian image (it shows up in menu, though). The others boot in old kernels. I was able to streighten up three others, but not the one which did not reboot.

With USB sitck (installer image, kernel 5.x era, but it worked), booted into rescue mode, then execute shell. HD is not mounted on /target, as screen reads.

Is there any other way to execute "make install"?

Quite a while ago, I forgot to run "lilo" after "make install". I was able to recover with rescue mode, but if I remember correcct, there was "mount hard disk partition" or something, which I do not find today.

I will appreciate any input.

cheers
