Oh, is kloader real?  I somehow thought it was just a fantasy.

This gives another way round the 2.8MB floppy image problem with i386
CD boot:  Have a small kernel that has drivers for whatever hardware
and file systems are needed to talk to the CD, but no drivers for other
hardware; and let it chain to a larger GENERIC or INSTALL kernel loaded
from the CD.
