:	actually you will want to try the following for creating a bootable

It may be wise to build a system with only the disks and tape
drive configured, then make and test your boot floppies.

Afterwards you can add the 69,000 /dev entried required to
activate your favorite toys.  You don't need pty's on your
boot disc, and such files may overflow the floppy disc.
