cffd986323 Make the vn device that is being used to build the floppies configurable.
You can now do something like "make release VNDEVICE=vn1". This makes it
possible to do something else with vn0, for instance building another
release.

9cf7e8eddc 1. Sync ABOUT.TXT changes.
2. Go back to using a filesystem on the boot floppy; the rawboot boot blocks
   were just too non-functional for other things.

51ef9201e6 Make the reduction algorithm to tune the file system size less
aggressive, in order to avoid /mnt: file system full problems.

Introduce a deadlock counter.

Turn off echoing again, it's cluttering the screen/log.

Gross hack to avoid the `vn0: invalid primary partition table: no magic'
warning.

Seems that doFS.sh is now doing the job...

5922cb9d54 Shrink BOOTMFS kernel further. Make doFS.sh more intelligent.
boot4.flp should work fine as far as I can tell.

433af520e4 Moved doFS into shell-script so we can be more smart about it.
make two boot floppies, one without help files for 4MB systems.
Mine's loading one now. :-)  -O2 may be needed.
