  The path?
  How to write the path? You mean the virtual machine can share physical 
  hard disk with the host ,without its own hard disk image ?

If you are using qemu or kvm, you don't need to put the kernel inside
the virtual machine image.

Just use -kernel (or possibly -initrd) parameter and pass the path and
file name of your kernel image and you're good to go.

assume your virtual disk image is in /tmp/guest.img.

Kernel is /tmp/kernel-image. Initrd is /tmp/initrd

Usually, I invoke it this way:
qemu -kernel /tmp/kernel-image -initrd /tmp/initrd -hda /tmp/guest.img

Hope you got the idea....

May I know how can I make the initrd image for a given kernel version in
order to boot it using QEMU?

Where can we found  the "guest.img", or more exactly what to put in it ? I
suppose a distrubition ?

Is there any small distribution, maybe without the X client (graphical
interface)?

try http://fs.devloop.org.uk/ for ready to use raw image of popular
Linux distros.

as for initrd, try mkinitrd command.....

This is slowly getting out of topic
