I'm having trouble with the install floppy on an Acer TravelMate 342T,
Intel Pentium III 500MHz with lots of Acer hardware.  I could get the
INSTALL kernel to boot by using wscons instead of pccons.

Anyway, the question is: is there an overriding reason why the INSTALL
floppy uses pccons?  The GENERIC kernel defaults to wscons, so why
doesn't the INSTALL kernel?
