	DANGER! WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! 128 inodes isn't enough to store
	the ever important /dev/* device nodes! Init hangs silently if
	/dev isn't on the floppys... You need over 256 inodes I think.

	I created the /dev directorys on the floppys by cp'ing /dev/MAKEDEV
	from the dist tree to the floppy /dev, changed to the floppy /dev
	and did a ./MAKEDEV all.

	I know you shouldn't need ALL the devices but, what the hell eh? You
	never know what kind of machine you'll need to boot on and what
	sort of disk, tape and console driver you'll need.
