>Description:
	I wanted to install a headless PC.
	I planned to install from my laptop which has no floppy.
	So I modified boot-big to have console enabled.
	Then I burned a CD with this boot-big-com.
	The PC booted on the CD with console enabled =)

	I hope this could be useful to others.
>How-To-Repeat:
	# cd /usr/src/distrib/i386/floppies
	# cp -pr bootfloppy-com bootfloppy-com-big
	# cd bootfloppy-com-big
	# cat > Makefile
