I must have been doing something wrong. I couldn't get tftpboot.img to
work from proposed-updates, it kept asking to install rescue.bin. For now
I'm using rescue_netwinder.bin from regular potato, but with the rest of
the stuff from proposed-updates (drivers.tgz, rescue.bin, base2_2.tgz).
Seems to be working fine.

For now I'll simply do an update once I get potato installed. The woody
tftpboot.img for netwinder does not work nicely. Network install does not
really work, and if I install from the disk it hangs partway through.
