The latest version of the install docs for 1.5_ALPHA still has pretty poor
instructions on how to install from floppy (which is what most of us are
doing these days, with all the spare SS1s, SS2s, IPXs, LXs lying around).

Do you need someone *cough**hack**cough* to write up some better
instructions on openboot ?

Also, is there any reason why:
