I know.  Try the following remedy:

1) Use sources from later than last sunday

2) Build and install new (BIOS) boot code

3) Build and install the new installboot

4) Go to /usr/src/distrib/i386/floppies/fdset
   and do a "make" there.

It will produce one or more images named disk[1-9].fs.  These are
the new "ustar" format floppies, that enables use of multi-volume
boot media.  Besides the ability to use multiple diskettes for
booting, the packing method is more efficient than the ffs method,
so the image *may* still fit on a single floppy.

Please give feedback as to how it works.
