Damn kernel bloat :( 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.
