OOPS! Another possibility is the form of the find? I'm not sure it would
have an effect, but since I'm not *that* intimate with the booting
details (its screwed me a lot, but I've not been able to screw it ;-)..

"find ." is not the same as "find *" or find {x,y,z}

When the archive is extracted, relative path vs. absolute path
considerations may come into play.

When you do the extract with the "cpio -ict", if the patches begin with
"./", then "find ." is good. If they do not have a leading ".", that may
be the problem.
