>Description:
If there is i386/installation/floppy/boot-big.fs in the NetBSD/i386
CD-ROM, then we can easily reconstruct bootable CD-ROM boot with
INSTALL_LAPTOP by mounting it and mkisofs.
(It will be useful for laptop users who have bootable CD-ROM drive
but does not have floppy disk drive or something.)
In addition to that, if we can select boot image (boot-big.fs or
bootlap-big.fs) it's nice. Is it possible when you make the CD-ROM image?
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Would you make bootlap-big.fs and include it in the CD-ROM image?
