This is _hacked_ from anaconda, but isn't anaconda itself.  It's one
smallish (22k if you build the "tiny" version) binary.  It can't get a
whole lot smaller because of the table needed to make vendor/device ids to
driver names, but if anyone has any suggestions for reducing the
footprint, I'd be happy to hear them.

I'm hacking into into the potato boot-floppies because I need it for
another Debian-derived project, whether or not Debian wants to try to put
it into one of the 2.2rX releases.

I know that the current thinking is that boot-floppies will disappear for
woody, but it seems like this code could be useful in whatever will
replace it also.
