Another thing you might try, as we just did, is diking out the NFS
server support from the boot floppy (assuming that the boot floppy
kernel isn't also the one which is eventually installed onto the new
system).  That saves you a fair amount of space, and the machine
doesn't need to be an NFS server while it's running the
installation. :-)
