yes, but this is not trivial to do at all. the whole kernel-package deal is
rather fragile.

yup, i stand corrected.
although, as someone pointed out to me, the current dac960/cpqarray drivers
are built as modules and as such won't allow you to use those devices as
install targets. (you can't load drivers until you have formatted and
mounted a / partition...)

kernel-image is, pcmcia is not.

um, base-config will be run from full sysvinit, not busybox init.
