As I don't know of any hardware that a.) needs to boot from floppy and b.)
doesnt work with 2.4 but only with 2.6 I still don't see a good reason to do
the work and do a rebuild of the _sarge_ miboot-floppies.
Since almost 10 years (1997 I think) apple switched to newworld, which all can
boot from cdrom or have proper OF implementations to boot from network - so I
also doubt there is a hardware which needs this and I don't know :)

At the moment I only have/had to run "debuild", everything else, takes some of
my time which I rather invest in improving etch and lenny.
Sorry for not using your patch, but you can always rebuild the miboot floppies
yourself ;-)
