So, I copied the misc/src directory into /mit/linux/devel/redhat/6.2
in order to play with it.  I made a few modifications, fixed a glaring
bug in anaconda/loader/net.c that caused it to not work, and I've
built two working bootdisks, bootnet and bootpcmcia.  I've even tested
them and yes, the disks work and DO get to the second-stage bootloader.

You can the images in /mit/linux/devel/redhat/6.2/trees/images/.  You
can recreate the disks by running "make".  You DO need to be root in
order to build the disk images.

Enjoy!
