Sure.  I'd rather not cut anything--the INSTALL kernel is already pretty
stripped, and the ramdisk has the bare essentials.  If we need to pull
up the changes from -current, then that's what we need to do--it's just
awfully late to be thinking about that (and that's at least partially my
fault for not noticing this earlier).

In any case, I don't really see anything in the kernel that can be
stripped without losing some functionality.  I chose some of the PCI
network drivers, forgetting that there are desktop macs that don't
have built-in ethernet, and not even thinking about busted on-board
ethernet.

The boot floppy has basically ethernet, disk, CD, keyboard, and basic
display devices.  Not much else.

I'll take a look at the -current setup and see what it might take to
back-port that to the branch.
