bootfloppy-small needs netbsd.INSTALL_SMALL.gz, which is built from
the INSTALL_SMALL/netbsd kernel that is mdsetimage-ed with the ramdisk
from ramdisk-small.

Try something like this:
	cd /usr/src/etc
	make snap_kern
	cd /usr/src/distrib/i386/floppies/ramdisk-small
	make
	cd ../kernel-ramdisk
	make netbsd.INSTALL_SMALL.gz
	cd ../bootfloppy-small
	make

This could be cleaned up (especially the snap_kern stuff).  I hope to
be able to work on this after the 1.6 release.

No idea on this.
