Well, yes, it does work, which is what rather confuses me.
I boot from a floppy created when I rashly attempted to compile
a kernel (2.2.19pre9) some time ago. I had gone back to the
original version, but the floppy for that got corrupted and the
only way I could see to get back in was to use my own weird
thing.
As you may have noticed, I'm way out of my depth in all this,
but I can well imagine that things don't "line up". But does
it matter? I don't really want to start all over again - I've
done it too many times already :( - but if there's a time bomb
ticking in the system ...
