Looks like the best move would be to switch that option over for the
default kernel, at this point. Given that we ONLY have SRM support in
the distro right now, it might as well be as broad as possible. I'll
rebuild the kernels that way for 0.91.

I'll look into the possibility of doing a really stripped-down
bootstrap CD in the interim so the platforms that can't boot the
current kernel can get into the installer.

I'll also give myself a bit of a crash course in MILO over the weekend
and see what I can do with my PWS433. At least I can boot it from SRM
while messing around.
