The INSTALL kernel comes with a ramdisk inside. You have recompiled the
install kernel, but not filled in the ramdisk with any information. To
do this, go to /usr/src/distrib/i386/floppies, and do 'make'. You'll
find a file called boot.fs in the bootfloppy/ subdirectory. dd this image
onto a floppy and you have a new bootfloppy.
