Installation kernel for hpcarm

[jmitchel%bigjar.com@localhost]

Hello,

What can be done to make it so an installation kernel is automatically
generated for the hpcarm platform? A long time ago the hpcarm port
couldn't boot a kernel bigger than 3.6Mbytes and I'm guessing that's why
this was never set up. But that issue has been fixed and a manually
created install kernel boots up in to sysinst, so I everything is fixed.
Here's what I did:

1) I added the following lines to the kernel config

options         MEMORY_DISK_HOOKS       # boottime setup of ramdisk
options         MEMORY_DISK_ROOT_SIZE=8800      # Size in blocks
options         MEMORY_DISK_IS_ROOT     # use memory disk as root
(I chose 8800 blocks because that's how big the unzipped miniroot.fs file is.

2) I used mdsetimage to embed the disk image into the kernel:

mdsetimage netbsd miniroot.fs

Unfortunately, using an install kernel with the ramdisk as a separate file
doesn't work. This might be a limitation of the Windows CE bootloader, but
I'm not sure.

Anyway, if there's more information needed, I'll do my best to provide it.
I'll also test the installation kernel.
