I've been reviewing other docs and how they separate out instructuions
for different platforms.  I'd like to see:

    Copy the bootdisk image onto the floppy with
    
        attach bootkit; cd /mit/bootkit/rhlinux
        volcheck	# only if you are making the disk on a solaris machine
        dd if=athena.img of=<floppy-device> bs=18k conv=sync    
    
        Under linux, replace <floppy-device> with /dev/fd0.
        Under solaris, use /vol/dev/aliases/floppy0
    
change to:

    Make sure you are copying the right data:

        attach bootkit; cd /mit/bootkit/rhlinux
    
    Copy the bootdisk image onto the floppy:

    Under Solaris:

        volcheck
        dd if=athena.img of=/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0 bs=18k conv=sync   
    Under linux:
    
        dd if=athena.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=18k conv=sync
