As a fallback, I've been threatening to do a simple userconfig-style thing in loader itself as a fallback if necessary.. I'd rather not since that would just make loader bigger still, but it's always there as a quick/dirty fallback option. If my memory serves me correctly, we dont enable bootforth on the 5.0 boot floppies. This is probably more a symptom of having an identical config for floppies and cd boot. Now that we have cdboot for i386 all but there, we should be able to finally do a complete boot for the CD case and a smaller stripped kernel with esoteric drivers on a seperate disk for the floppy-only case.
