Make release completes after a complete rebuild -- looks fine.

Making the CD image fails:

# mkhybrid -o i386-15alfa.iso -b installation/floppies/boot-big.fs -c boot.catalog -a -l -J -r -L release
Using BOOT-TINY.000;1 for  release/installation/floppies/boot-tiny.fs.gz (boot-tiny.fs)
Using BOOT-BIG.000;1 for  release/installation/floppies/boot-big.fs.gz (boot-big.fs)
Using BOOT1.000;1 for  release/installation/floppies/boot1.fs.gz (boot1.fs)
Using BOOT2.000;1 for  release/installation/floppies/boot2.fs.gz (boot2.fs)

Size of boot image is 3816 sectors -> 
Error - boot image is not the an allowable size.


which is consistent with the actual size of boot-big:

But why is boot-big.fs shorter than a 2.88M diskette image ?
