We should really make a bootloader program that can be put inside a
ramdisk in a KLOADER kernel and put on a CD, which will get the kernel
via TFTP, NFS, or whatever depending on settings saved on a memory
card.  I've been thinking a bit about it and it should be possible to
make something nice this way.

Is it possible to tell KLOADER which root filesystem to use as well?
