Why not put it on two floppies? Adding a second floppy drive might be a
reasonable thing to do....

I think it would be worth while to try to generalize the pico-BSD
scripts to deal with different target media sizes.
That is, we're all worrying about what will fit on a 1.44MB floppy,
when other bootable media are becoming more profligate. 2.88 Mbyte
floppies, LS-120 "SuperDisk" floppies, 80 MByte mini-CDRoms,
680MByte CDRoms are all widely deployed bootable media.
I still think that Pico-BSD ought to be bootable from read-only
media, which might be what distinguishes it from just a pared-down
RELEASE, but for some uses it might want to take up more than what a
floppy can hold.
