Erk. That's a _regression_! Not good... Ben, did your patch interfere
with anything that would have made this not work? Also, this is CDROM,
right? Also, did you use a netinst/businesscard image, the
cdrom-mini.iso, or what?

I tried a boot floppy on my sparc32 box. It seemed to boot OK, but
possibly because SILO is not responible for the initrd for floppy
installs.
