  I just finished a few experiments with a copy of the
	FLOPPY FILE SYSTEM DISK
I mounted it and deleted "/mnt/etc/profile" which is normally a link
to "/mnt/etc/profile.fd".  Once this is done, you can boot the floppy
boot disk and insert your modified filesystem diskette and you'll
be in a shell.  I also copied "/etc/iv" to it and a modified
configuration script from "/usr/lib/iv" with expanded swap space.
You can then
	/etc/iv -uv /dev/rfp000 script
where "script" is your modified script with expanded swap space.
I have tried it up to 12 Megabytes.  It doesn't matter what you
tell the diagnostic disk when you format...this will override.
  After doing this, you can boot the floppy boot and insert the
standard floppy filesystem diskette and proceed to build your system.
