Yes, that one is necessary.  Creating custom boot floppies isn't all
that difficult, especially since we use an NFSROOT directory.  There is
one thing about the current make-fai-bootfloppy that I correct locally
each time.  I don't copy everything over w/impunity.  I exclude the
System-X.XX.XX file; it's huge and unneeded for this one-time boot.  A
new kernel gets installed for the new system anyway, so there's no
reason to eat up good floppy space with this.  You can certainly have a
larger, broader reaching kernel if you do that.

Anyway, back to the grind.
