I've just made release and burned cd1.  I've emperically verified that
copying over disk2's /boot doesn't work.  There's just "something"
about the FS that's causing the cd9660 code to freak out. 

One question to those who've booted cd2 (I only burned cd1, the
cd-burner I have access to is at the other end of a 20Kb/sec link) --
are you certain that its booting /kernel?  Or might it be booting
/kernel.GENERIC

FWIW, the cdboot on my disc1 seemed happy to load a kernel from
a 4.3-release cd that I hot-swapped in after booting from disc1.

This is frustrating as hell..
