This follows DECs/CPQs convention of only supporting OS installs Only after someone spends the time to fix src/release/Makefile to produce a boot image intended for CDROM booting. There is no reason we cannot have a 5 MB CD-ROM boot kernel image on the Alpha. Thus we would not need to cut anything out. JKH signed up to do this (poke, poke :-)), but that has yet to happen.
