Heh.  Thanks for the patches.

Do you wind up with a bootable CD, then?  Or is there anything magic about
the way that a "2 boot floppy" setup interacts with making a boot CD?

(I can handle it if the CD doesn't boot, but it'd be nice if it would.  And
I seem to recall that the CD boot mechanism---at least for i386, and presum-
ably for amd64---is based on a "big" floppy image.)


(Of course, if I trimmed the INSTALL kernel, that might help, too, yes?)
