GENERIC kernels. If ACPI is an issue on your hardware, 'boot -c' and
'disable acpi' should be a workaround. ACPI-enabled kernels works fine
on pre-acpi hardware.
for amd64:
- add ACPI to INSTALL and GENERIC, remove the *_ACPI config files.
- get rid of the bootfloppy-big.fs boot image, and got to a 3-floppy boot
image
for i386:
- introduce INSTALL_LARGE which has ACPI and some devices with big firmware
- move some devices from INSTALL to INSTALL_LARGE
- Boot floppies still use INSTALL, and bootfloppy-big.fs is still there
(for thoses who want to build el-torito floppy emulation boot CD) and use
INSTALL.
For both, drop the 'iso-image' code in etc/ to make the iso bootable, we'll
use something else to build bootable CDs.
