Could you possibly pass on a more detailed description of what you did to create your custom miniinst image? Going by the mail on this thread, it doesn't look like anybody has the time/bandwidth to provide a bootable disk image that others can download. I've done a make release (built for i386 on i386) before and cross-compile on both i386, amd64, but creating an amd64 image on an i386 machine (in a clean way) is a protracted PITA, as I don't see how you can create a -RELEASE quality image for amd64 on a plain old i386 box. If us disgruntled Compaq presario owners could contribute towards making a short script for building an experimental boot image on the 386, it would be easier for more folks to test the all the kernel patches/tweaks that have been floating around.
