This is an arch independent boot floppies bug which will be fixed in
bf-3.0.19.

Fixed in bf-3.0.18.

I tried to do this debian way and although the kernel package built fine, the istallation of this package failed because it assumed a bzimage was built, however the build process built a vmlinux image. Also, i don't think the the kernel install script was Indy aware, and didn't know how to make the kernel bootable, i.e. to write it to the SGI header vol.
Fixed in the kernel-package in unstable.
