Yep... I made a minimal filesystem from my /, /var and /usr
filesystems off my main drive. It boots into multiuser mode just
fine.

The Makefile seems to have some floppy-specific lines in it,
although if the bootable CD-ROM is made from the same image, why won't
it work on other types of devices? I mean, if you were to take the
boot.flp kernel file and copy it to your hard drive, would you expect
to be able to boot off of it?
