>Description:
	The copy_kernel.sh runs fsck before copying the kernel from the
	floppy to HD. I'd be inclined to run '-f', so it _always_ checks
	the disk is ok no matter what the clean flag says.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install an i386 -current distribution and feel 'a little uneasy'
	as it tells you the disk is clean :)
>Fix:
