Ok.
Now wee need to see why this happens. It seems that nobody was able to
make it work with the boot floppies built by me, is that exact ? Only by
those built by Jeremie. We need to find out why. Jeremie, did you modify
the kernel config somehow ? Or maybe something is not ok with our builds
or something.
