	No CD drive on machine

>Description:

	Sysinstall doesn't offer the ability to go into fixit
	mode using an NFS-mounted CD. This would be *really
	useful* on machines with no CDROM drive.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Boot from the install floppy; select fixit; observe
	the contents of the menu; swear profusely.

>Fix:
	
	You can of course do it by hand from the holographic
	shell.
