I know I can place all the files into their respective directories, but that still leaves the toastmod.img that's in the root of the netarchy zip file and I don't know if that MUST be placed somewhere, MUST be installed by flashing, or is just there to help the flashing process place the other files in their correct directories and is really not a needed file if I copied all the rest of the files.

I don't know if I even explained that properly. Haha.
You technically can unzip the ROM files and customize but you have to re-sign it after you're done playing with it in order for it to flash correctly.
The MUCH easier method would be to just flash the ROM and then flash the latest kernel over it.
There does not appear to be an advantage to a cooked in kernel vs one flashed on top of a ROM.
