Ah, so it is -- thanks.
I couldn't find any work-around so I've just asked on the boot list. I may
have to load slink, then just upgrade to potato (and build my own 2.2.14
kernel). That should work, shouldn't it? It looks like just the boot
floppies are mismatched, which wouldn't affect a slink->potato upgrade, I
figure.
