Yes, but what's the point of leaving out these "non hardware specific" things
for the bootdisk? If you're trying to get a zImage up there, then you'll still
hit the same hurdle when you boot an installed system. And I don't think
doing this to save floppy disk space/memory make much sense since this
really won't give you very much.
