I'm about to add a GENERIC.NOACPI kernel for i386, as there are machines 
out there that cannot boot with any of the kernels we ship in 4.0.
And I do not consider "boot -c" a very useful solution, as one may not be 
able to build a kernel. Please mention that extra kernel, it'll be 
available from sysinst and as install set soon.

As for ISOs in $MACHINE/installation/cdrom not containing install sets, 
maybe mention that they are intended for hardware testing and 
network-based installs.

Thanks!
