It is a lot easier if you mount the first floppy
(which is created from disk1.tgz).  It has an
ext2 filesystem.

If you change the kernel on the floppy, you will
need to re-execute lilo for the floppy.  Here is
the lilo.conf I use for preparing the floppy:
--------------------
boot=/dev/fd0
install=/fd/boot.b
map=/fd/map
delay=50 
compact
read-write
image=/fd/zimage
  label=BL3_ramdisk
  root=/dev/ram0
  initrd=/fd/disk1.gz
image=/fd/zimage
  label=hd
---------------------

Cheers,
Steven
