> What about (down)loading kernel modules from the installation medium?

Well, this will always be an issue if you support a long list of h/w. But
basically you want to be able to get enough modules to run install. That means
base platform, VGA/KBD, Serial Port I/O, UFS && CD9660 && NFS, Mass Storage
drivers, and 'simple' Network drivers. There's a lot of stuff in addition to
this that does *not* need to be in the install set.

The 'installation' medium may just be floppy. Let's not require folks to have
to have a CDROM present and attached.
