Bug#3037: sort of a bug with Debian Linux 0.93

It's a documentation problem, I think.

The boot and root files should be uncompressed into an image
which should be placed on floppy.  The base files are already
images, and should not be uncompressed.  They should be placed
of floppies as-is.

As I recall, the 0.93 base files are compressed cpio archives, and
they are uncompressed as they are read from the floppies.
