Aha! I got a working kernel. I guess I know more than I think I do :)
Here is the diff for the config, from your -small config. I really
don't know which of these were essential, I ended up with only 59k
free space on the floppy. But I guess that's enough.
Also, whoever can work on it to make it part of the d-i build: I put
the script to generate the floppy miBoot image (stolen from
boot-floppies), and the necessary pieces, plus the resulting floppy
image, at
http://members.cox.net/toff1/miBoot.tgz
The floppy boots and loads the woody root.bin on my clone machine.
I'll try to test on a 9500 later if I get a chance. I couldn't test
the sarge root.bin yet, the one I had handy (from a last week's CD)
was too big for a floppy.
