This is now done.

Silvain is currently working on this.
In the mean time I've merged all his changes into trunk and these are
ready to be committed when the last patch comes in.
I've tested that the floppies build from trunk and also tested the
resulting floppies.
It looks like we don't actually need two separate cd-driver floppies at
the moment:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
cd-drivers-1.img 1412 601 811 43% /media/cdrom0
cd-drivers-2.img 1412 711 701 51% /media/cdrom0
Sylvain: wouldn't it be better to just combine those into a single image?
The only thing we probably also need to do is add the copyright
information for cpio in the debian/copyright for rootskel.
Sylvain: could you look into that too please?
I'm confident we can commit this today and so have floppies for i386
available again tomorrow.
How long that will remain the case is the question as space on the boot
floppy is already extremely tight:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
boot.img 1424 1408 16 99% /media/cdrom0
And as it already does not include the usb-discover udeb, USB keyboard
support is possibly broken...
Cheers,
