Jam should complain about a missing configure right at the beginning and not build anything at all.

Anyway, the boot floppy method is a bit outdated, and I'm not sure, if it is supposed to still work. Any reason for using it? If not I would recommend building a HD image or directly installing it on an empty partition (use makehdimage -- have a look at the comments at the beginning of the file).


Yep, I did run ./configure so that shouldn't be the problem.
From what I read in the makehdimage comments there is no easy way to build such
an image from Linux. I'll try what zeta gives me when I run makehdimage soon, but
that probably won't help either since from how I understand

"...skipped kernel.x86 for lack of config.x86.ini..."

it doesn't even build the kernel. What is responsible for creating the config.x86.ini?
