Sorry, I was in the same boat a while back. The kernel builds are different.
If you do not know then you do not have one. The flashable ROM is a
replacement part to the original board. There is no one comercially
manufacturing them (YET).
For a good explanation of the difference go to:
http://acid.ch.pw.edu.pl/~sq5bpf/mylinux/linux-jornada720/
This is also a good but somewhat difficult to follow howto to build your own
kernel.
If you want a headstart on getting setup start with:
http://www.handhelds.org/pipermail/jornada/2003-January/000320.html
There are links here to tar files you can put right on your CF.

I am afraid that would not do you any good. My CF does not have anything on
it right now. I will use it for future space for data. The 32mb Flash ROM
does not leave much room for collecting data.
