A word of warning: using a different version for BOOT and real kernels
will break kudzu in the post installation phase - at least automatic sound
and USB detection stop working, so that even if you have a working USB
mouse during installation it wont work on first boot until you add
'alias usb-controller usb-uhci' to /etc/modules.conf and other "fun" :(
