Update: what was making mkbootdisk hang was the mke2fs invocation, which was
complaining about /dev/hdb (it was babbling about:)

mke2fs 1.18, 11-Nov-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
/dev/hdb is entire device, not just one partition!
Proceed anyway? (y,n)

Obviously, in batch mode, it's never going to finish :(  I tried doing
fdisk on the floppy and then using /dev/hdb1, and the errors went away.
However on boot, it hangs at 'LI'.
