Please, consider also detecting CD readers so that CD installs can do the
same. (it's what Mandrake actually does)
They have a stage1 step that detects the CD readers, loads the necessary
modules to get access to the CD, and then they setup a big ramdisk with
an image found on the CD and they make it the new root (since they are
in the initrd step at the same time).
