Works on i386. The boot disks documentation may have grown, as
the resulting image #1 is 667MB. SIZELIMIT for CD#1 will
need to be adjusted a bit smaller.

works.

Humm, unzip is not currently used in /tools/boot/woody/boot-i386.
Other observations:
The README.txt in the top level directory is blank, however the
README.html is fine.
I built only the i386 set, as I am cramped for disk space at the moment.
I have not tried an install, only built the images and burned a set to look
at.
I will reduce CD#1 size and try an install in the next few days.
