i managed to do a powerpc-miboot flavour build, which does fit on a miboot
floppy. I would like (urgently) for folk to test it out, it is just a kernel,
i need to see if it boots, not much more for now, before i go ahead and upload
2.6.12-7 which would include it, and subsequently build debian-installer
images with it.

The floppy is at :
