Following on from another suggestion in another thread...
We could have a 'small' install kernel without ACPI that fits inside the
2GB limit - and so will boot with floopy emulation and on old systems, and
a larger instal kernel more suited to modern systems with ACPI, LFS (and
maybe without some of the ancient ISA card support) that doesn't have
to be under 2GB.
