make-fai-bootfloppy: No space left on device

Hi,

I am using FAI 2.8.4 together with FAI Kernels 1.10.1:
# dpkg -p fai fai-kernels |grep Version
Version: 2.8.4
Version: 1.10.1

When I try to create a boot disk with make-fai-bootfloppy, it breaks
with the error "No space left on device". The command line reads:
# make-fai-bootfloppy -v -F -f /tmp/test.img

It looks like the script tries to do
+ echo 'Copying the kernel /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.14-fai-kernels to the floppy.'
+ cp -p /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage1 /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2 /media/floppy/boot/grub
+ cp /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.14-fai-kernels /media/floppy

And the last line gives the error:
cp: writing `/media/floppy/vmlinuz-2.6.14-fai-kernels': No space left on device

If I try using LILO (never did that before, grub has been fine ;) ), I
get:
# make-fai-bootfloppy -v -l -F -f /tmp/test.img
/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/sbin/lilo.real: error while loading shared libraries:
  libdevmapper.so.1.01: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
lilo failed.

The question is: are these bugs (the kernel should fit on a boot disk
using grub, using lilo should work), is it my strange setup (using FAI
2.8.4 together with FAI-kernels 1.10.1 is a fault, I should use FAI
2.9(.1), am I missing something?

Thanks for any suggestions,
  with regards, Alex
