 I've pulled in this specific patch into my patch queue and started
 builds for VAX.  However, I *think* this won't cut it unfortunately:
 My impression is that we _do_ have manifests, but these only contain a
 (small) subset of what's on the CD. What's _missing_ (IIRC) is all the
 content that makes it a port-specific CD: In the manifests, there are
 no entries for the kernel(s), any sets, filesystem/ramdisk images.
 Only generic stuff is listed there AFAIR.
 
 MfG, JBG
