Greetings again. After some wonderful help from Manuel Bouyer on the 
problem I reported last night, I need to make some installation 
floppies to test whether it fixes my problem. Unfortunately, the 
floppy-making script doesn't finish. In 
/usr/src/distrib/i386/floppies, I say "make", and it makes fine until:

(cd 
/usr/src/distrib/i386/floppies/ramdisk-big/../../../../sys/arch/i386/stand/installboot; 
make installboot.o bootblks.o getmount.o loadfile.o)
cc -g -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes  -Werror 
-I/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/stand/installboot/../lib/crt/bootsect 
-I/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/stand/installboot/../../../../lib/libsa -I. 
-c installboot.c
In file included from installboot.c:59:
/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/stand/installboot/../../../../lib/libsa/loadfile.h:70: 
machine/loadfile_machdep.h: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

How can I move forwards from here?

Also, how will I tell this script where the kernel I want to use is? 
It's in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL, but I don't see how this 
script would know that.
