Actually, I've noticed that several i386 floppy images have the .4x software
raid compiled in the kernel.
I'd probably just take the kernel-config from the floppy directory, get a
new kernel 2.2.19 at the moment, and patch raid up to V .90, and put that
kernel on the floppy. Syslinux uses a vfat fs, and should load any kernel
named "linux" right? Maybe bzImage, or zImage....
