I've read the "recent" discussion[1] about why the install
media cannot use "/boot/loader -P" (broken K7 mobo's). Is
this still the case? Perhaps there could be a second
'miniinst' that had "/boot/loader -h" in the /boot.config
to facilitate install on headless machines. I am aware of
how trivial it is to fix the standard kern.flp to use
serial console. However, fixing an iso or building a new
one for serial console is not quite so quick. (Nor is
finding the necessary combination of working floppy drives
and disks in my case.)
