That is pretty much the order I did them in. I had to do it twice
though, because although I had just built a 2.2.9 kernel using the 'make
zdisk' command, I forgot to reboot using the new kernel. Reading the
docs, I noticed that the config file from *the currently running kernel*
is used during the ftape make process. That was an easy fix though and
only cost me a reboot and about five minutes compile time.

OK. I have to ask again, where is this in the documentation? I've
looked at the INSTALL document a couple of times, and it may be possible
that I have overlooked it. Where does it say that with the 2.2.x
kernels, you should not configure ftape into the kernel. I have it in
there now that I compiled a 2.2.9 kernel, and it would be simple to take
it out, but I would love to have some clarity on this.
