I think for standard install media, if we're going to now ignore the 
2.88MB limit in the default case, the INSTALL kernel should really be 
nothing more than something like:

	include "arch/i386/conf/GENERIC"
	options         MEMORY_DISK_HOOKS
	options         MEMORY_DISK_IS_ROOT
	options         MEMORY_DISK_SERVER=0
	options         MEMORY_DISK_ROOT_SIZE=10000

Or whatever is the syntax... apart from reducing maintenance headaches 
it will also give a better idea at install time of the hardware support 
(and potential brokenness) once the install is complete.

Cheers,
