Due to the breakage regarding the 815 graphics controller that uses the 
i810 driver. It is now needed to add parameters to the installer in 
order to get the installer to function in graphics mode. This entails 
figuring out which information is needed to get the installer to proceed 
in graphics mode now. I heard that someone had success by passing 
800x600 resolution to the installer before starting the installer. 
Before the breakage, nothing needed to be passed to the installer, 
unless you wanted to install reiserfs, expert or any out of the ordinary 
options. Now, it is either experiment with options to the installer or 
just choose a text install.
