It is not.  The -BOOT kernel isn't used for the installer CD any
longer, and only the -BOOT kernel was changed :-(

Not true.  It's about the drive.  It's the kernel.  A CD burnt with
Severn2 cdrecord, without -pad, fails verification on Severn2, but
passes if I reboot the machine into Shrike and run the verification
program from a chrooted Severn2.
