Error scenario: When creating a boot floppy from drakfloppy, it fails 
with an error message from mkbootdisk indicating that there is not 
enough disk space on the floppy.
Why: The kernel is too big so it cannot fit with the initrd and the boot 
loader on a 1.44MB floppy disk.
Solution: Use either fdformat or superformat on the command line (you 
may need to install the fdutils package for the latter) to format your 
floppy to a bigger format such as 1.7MB
