First you configure and build your INSTALL kernel. Then you
	cd src/distrib/<my_arch>/floppies
	make clean; make
This should get you a ramdisk.fs inside ./ramdisk and actually put this 
ramdisk inside the INSTALL kernel and make your boot floppies. Check 
the structure inside the src/distrib/<my_arch>/floppies to see how the 
ramdisk filesystem is made.
