>Description:
I built a release with only kern-laptop.tgz, because I'm installing
on a laptop. The install program said that the selected device
doesn't contain the "required" files kern.tgz, base.tgz, and etc.tgz.
When I said "ignore, continue anyway", of course it worked.
The installer should check for the kernel tarball it will use.
