there are no CDROM images because i don't have a cdrom burner, so i have
no way to test such an image.

1) reiserfs flavored kernel
or
2) reiserfs patched kernel somehwere.
if we used 2.4.x kernels which have the reiserfs ``patches'' already
integrated, this would negate both of those.
in the current CVS for woody, there is support for reiserfs. however,
the resierfs eabled code looks to see if flavor=reiserfs is passes as a
boot argument. this can be readily changed, if we somehow make another
flavor with reiserfs patches already integrated.
