Since another snap is fairly close, I just updated the floppy images
in-place on freefall and ftp.cdrom.com.  If you see boot, atapi and
root floppy images dated Oct 6th or later, these are the updated
floppies.

This update should fix the 4MB boot problem (4MB users - please test!)
and also make the ATAPI boot floppy usable.  IDE CDROM owners, please
test this too!  Thanks go to Gary Jennejohn and Peter Wemm for the
timely kzip fixes that make this work.

Some other look-and-feel tweaks were made in this update, but none
worth mentioning specifically.

Next snapshot will feature:
	o Last kernel changes from -current folded in by David.
	o A working package-picker (I'm doing this now).
	o A primitive but functional upgrade-from-2.0.5 option (doing
	  this too).
