They don't need any frobbing right now. Since cdboot doesn't run
INTRO_USERCONFIG (we could fix that by compiling the 'intro' keyword into the
kernel if VISUAL_USERCONFIG is specified, I already create a kernel.conf that
contains 'intro', it just doesn't work) it's not suitable yet. Also, the idea
for our RC's are to distribute both a cdboot and boot.flp ISO, so we can
deterine how wide-spread support is for cdboot. If it's very wide, we might
ship a cdboot ISO by default. If it's not supported by most of the systems out
there, we might just ship a boot.flp ISO by default. If it's more of an even
split, we might want to ship 2 ISO's. The only changes are the options to
mkisofs, and both ISO's have the exact same contents, so it's not that much
effort to generate 2 ISO's. Now if someone is going to ship CD's, they will
probably want to pick one or the other.
