>Description:
	The i386 installation floppies are always sized so that if
	they do not fill up an entire 1.44MB floppy, they are not
	padded out.

	This makes it hard to use that image with VirtualPC, which will
	only allow mounting a file as a floppy image if it is exactly
	1440k in size.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	Tweak Makefiles to pad out floppy images.
