Problems making release 4.9

I am having difficulty getting make release to complete under 4.9.  I
have cvsup'd the source, built the world, installed the world and then
attempted to do make release and failed.
 
The failure is always in the same spot:

It would appear that the goodies trying to be stuffed onto the floppy
are too big to fit:
 
 ls -l /b/release/4.9-STABLE/R/stage/image.kern/
total 1346
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel      512 Mar 18 14:12 boot/
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1345876 Mar 18 14:12 kernel.gz*

 
I have done this many times with pervious releases to make custom
install CDs, but have yet to have it work under 4.9.  What can I do to
trim some fat from the bits to make them fit on the floppy.
 
I don't even need the floppies, other than boot.flp.
 
Please reply directly if you can, as I am not subscribed to the list.
 
Thanks in advance.
