I was going to wait to see if that actually fixed the problem for the 
OP before pressing for it, but yes, that would be good.

It looks like all you have to do to get the alternate image into the 
boot section, is to set ${CDROM_BOOT_IMAGE} to "bootlap-big.fs" before 
making "iso-image". There's some precedent for simply dropping that 
into the release now, and adding it to the build framework later (so 
maybe there should be, what, an "iso_images" target)?
