That's clearly the better option (although it does require the
bigger kernel). However, I have managed to boot the floppy
version in QEMU:
----------------------------
qemu -fda bl3.f1 -fdb bl3.f2
----------------------------
When it asked for floppy 2, I hit CTRL-C and edited /etc/rc.
I changed the line that says "mount /fd" to:
------------------
mount /dev/fd1 /fd
------------------
Then executed: /etc/rc

It worked fine, although the colors in X were pretty strange.
It was funny to see Xvesa working on a computer which normally
refuses to run Xvesa (QEMU was running on the SVGA Xserver).

Cheers,
Steven
