After or during a successful install I think it would be "nice"
to be able to put the kernel from kern.flp on the hard drive, 
preferably without having to boot the installed system.  This
would be especially useful when the install floppies have been customized
to make it possible for them to work on particular hardware.

I built a 3.3-STABLE release the other day in order to create
install floppies with the aic driver on them.  But if they are
used to install a standard release or snap, the aic driver won't
be in the installed kernel, as I understand it.
