I can split that part, np

In that case, I propose the following:
- rename INSTALL_FLOPPY to INSTALL for i386 (or INSTALL becomes 
INSTALL_FLOPPY for amd64). No need to mess up things between two arch 
that are closely related (I would prefer the former, 3MiB file does not 
qualify as "floppy" size to me). I don't care in the end, if we can 
avoid mess.
- keep building the miniroot.kmod installation module.

Opinions?
