Note that this change has no effect on the kernel that gets installed
from the bin (er, base) distribution, which is still GENERIC.

Also, for 5.0/i386, we're using cdboot instead of floppy emulation
booting, so that anyone installing from CDROM will be booting a regular
GENERIC kernel for the install.

This change only affects the stripped-down kernel on boot.flp, which is 
only used by users who need to boot a floppy disk to install.

Cheers,

Bruce.
