I played with making things smaller pretty much all day, and the result is
the three disk boot process. There's a bootdisk. It's just a kernel, and
probably won't work for everyone. I hope we can do something about that
between now and Sunday night (pacific time). There's a rootdisk. It's
got a root filesystem on it and gets loaded into ramdisk. There's another
rootdisk. It contains the other part of the root filesystem, and gets
loaded into the ramdisk as well.
You are prompted for each disk when you are supposed to insert them. You
don't need to leave the last disk in once it's done with it. It'll tell
you that, too.
Let the installation process testing begin! It certainly doesn't need to
be perfect before I go to make the master demo disc tomorrow night. I'd
just like to know where I stand on this. Well, enjoy it. I'm catching
some much-deserved rest now.
