I have tried to do just that, but not succeeded (only tried with 2.6
kernels yet, compiling a 2.4.27 kernel while writing this). I have
also noticed that the d-i miboot floppies for 2.6 does not work on my
oldworld macs. Do you have working miboot floppies with a 2.6 kernel?

If not, any clues on why miboot does not work with 2.6 kernels on
floppies?
