It also turns out tha the hand-built kernel I had already made does not. It also turns out that you can't easily replace the kernel on the boot floppy. Okay, so I need to make a new boot floppy with the kernel that works. Simple? Nope. Makefiles must be hacked to avoid compiling the world. Perhaps I missed a Fine Manual. Perhaps there is an easier way. I haven't got it working yet, so perhaps there are more problems yet to be faced. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
