Perhaps by complicating the interface we've obscured the purpose somewhat, but the primary purpose remains "getting the user installed on the hard disk." What also needs to happen is for `dset' to get folded into sysinstall so that the second kernel to come off the bindist can also be tweaked to track whatever changes the user had to make in coming up off the floppy.
