Hi,

I have a set of changes to picobsd scripts etc which i will
hopefully commit in the next days.

See http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/pico.000119.patch
for a detailed patch (which is not very long):

The main changes are as follows:

 + remove the forth/ stuff, and greatly simplify the loader
   scripts as Greg Lehey did for 4.0. This saves quite a bit of
   room from the floppy image.

 + a small change to rc scripts etc so you can copy things to
   a hard disk or so and enjoy the higher boot speed.

 + make the "build" script look for configuration parameters
   (e.g. floppy sizes etc) in ../*/PICOBSD i.e. the kernel
   config file. This makes it simpler to add new floppy types
   without having to play with 'custom' directory, and removes
   parameters from the build script.

   The kernel config file is not the best place to do this but
   i wanted to avoid having even more config files around. If
   someone can suggest a better place I will be happy to follow
   good suggestions.

Please have a look at the diffs and see if you like them.

	cheers
	luigi
