install question

I should probably be able to figure this out, but so far no luck.
I downloaded vsta, unpacked it on my system on the second partition.
I made a grub floppy. I used the following commands:

    root=(hd0,4)
    kernel=/vsta/boot/vsta
    module=/vsta/boot/cons
    module=/vsta/boot/namer
    module=/vsta/boot/wd d0:readp
    module=/vsta/boot/dos -p disk/wd:wd0_dos0 fs/root
    module=/vsta/boot/init
    boot

and processes 7 dies (dos). I tried booting with testsh instead
of init and mounted namer and eventually wd to find that there
is indeed a disk/wd entry in namer and a wd0_dos0 partition existed
in the wd driver. I dont see any syslog messages from the dos driver.

I have partitions for wd0_p0 (fat32 partition) and wd0_dos0 (fat16
partition on which vsta resides). The fat16 drive has long filenames
on it.

Any ideas? Is my fat fs too feature full for the dos driver?

(ps. the roadmap.txt isntall instructions tell you to rawrite
'stage12' to the floppy, but there is no stage12 file. You have
to manually cat together stage1 and stage2. This isn't mentioned).
