wierd, agian may i suggest just using woody boot-floppies?  potato's
really really suck, there are piles and piles of known bugs in them
that are fixed in woody's.

woody boot-floppies take care of all these steps for you  with its
make system bootable step, they are only required on potato, another
reason not to use potato bootfloppies, unless you really want to run
potato (i only know of 2 or 3 people that do).
