No, i am still working on it too. I can't even reliably build and disklabel 
a floppy on 0.0! I am waiting on some network cards to come in, then i plan to:
1) bring up 0.0 on a spare compaq
2) do an extract on sources
3) build a kernel
4) see if it boots 

There is something very weird about compaqs. I have yet to hear of one booting
0.1 from *any* floppy.
