I've been thinking of adding another install kernel and ramdisk to the i386
(and probably amd64) build.
This would be aimed at modern (ok probably PIII and later) systems.

Proposed features:

- For native CD boot (no 2.8MB limit)
- ACPI support for laptops and other newer systems.
- LFS support
- No support for EISA and some old network/SCSI cards
- Few ISA devices

I still intend having an embedded ramdisk for the root filesystem.
This makes it possibly to pxeboot the install kernel, as well as having
different kernels selectable from the bootloader with different root fs
(eg i386 and amd64 binaries).

I am thinking of calling the kernel INSTALL_CD with ramdisk-cd.
The kernel probably ends up being a merge of GENERIC.MPACPI INSTALL
and INSTALL_LAPTOP.
