Synopsis: bootlap[12].fs does not install laptop kernel

State-Changed-Why:
The problem here is that all boot floppies have the same sysinst in them and
sysinst does not know anything about the specific ram disk/boot floppy that
was used. Hence, it defaults to GENERIC. You can select GENERIC_LAPTOP by
doing a custom installation though.
A possible solution could be to make sysinst inspect the name of the kernel
used and try to deduce the kernel to be installed (e.g. s/INSTALL/GENERIC/
and see if the resulting name exists as part of the distribution).
