Yes, it should for the most part. Luigi Rizzo tested that it works and
produces nice "router" floppy with dummynet (bandwidth limiter) and
bridging code.

There are only two points where it can fail, both of them very easy to fix
when you encounter them:

* patches in */crunch1/*.diff don't apply cleanly, or at all:
	- they are so simple that you can do this by hand; it's usually
	  a matter of setting one or two env. variables.
* you're out of inodes on MFS (in 'populate'):
	- when RELENG_2_2 is set, you don't use DEVFS and we have to make
	  the whole /dev/* tree. Edit the Makefile in */mfs.tree/* and
	  instead of './MAKEDEV std' use specific list of devices you
	  need.

Dinesh dissappeared from the net (I think he's very busy with implementing
picobsd-based solutions for Malaysian schools), so this will have to
suffice in the meantime. If you want to provide the (tested :-) patches,
you're welcome.
