Another problem I had with that snap here is that it does not install
on a machine with 8M RAM.  It started installing, but stopped in
random places during file copy.  It did work after I remade the
kern.flp with only the devices I had (thus, using less memory).

I noticed that swapping was disabled in the BOOTMFS kernel.  Is this
really necessary ?  How hard is to add an option "use this swap
partition during install", or even a "create and use a vn swap file in
/usr/tmp during install" ?

Or should I just assume 8M RAM machines are not any more supported ?

PS: Wow !!!  The new loader made dealing with boot.flp a very easy
task.  :)
