	THis may not be such a great thing, but it finally got the kernel 
to copy. This applies to systems with two identical floppy drives. When 
the system prompts for the file system floppy, take the boot floppy from 
the first floppy drive and put it in the second. I noticed that in this 
situation, the system will ALWAYS seek the second floppy drive no matter 
what. SO, I figured: Hey! Lets force-feed the box with its own boot disk 
and WHAM! Copy_Kernel TIME!

P.S. Is there a way to download the installation files over a serial port 
to avoid the hassle of have to deal with all those messy floppy disks? I 
have a DOS box with all the files.
