Not yet...  When I boot the ofonlyboot (and the boot) floppy, I get 
the tuxmac icon for only a few seconds.  The red X appears almost 
immediately.  When I looked at the filesystem, it has a zero length 
zImage file, and no vmlinu* file.  Commenting out the objcopy means 
that there is no vmlinux.bin file for gzip to work on.
