	Cool.  I've looked into making a boot floppy by itself before, 
but I never had enough incentive to do it.  It's always been easier to just
do a make release or yank the disk from the machine in question and put it
in another machine. :)

	Yeah, we'll probably make another snapshot soon.  There are some
things that need to get done before that happens, though.   (7890 support,
and I would like to get my CD changer code in as well.  I'm not sure if
I'll have time to finish the changer stuff, though.)
