At some point David O'Brien wrote, but it's hard to tell because he set's his
reply-to so inclusions aren't easy.

You might not remember that in the work I did for 4.1 that the reason I didn't
have problems is that I just dd'd boot.flp to a disk and booted that (rather
than go through the hell of finding a floppy drive I could cut new floppies
on- I have 5-10 that are all in disrepair and don't make readable floppies).
