Hm. The boot floppies don't use any non-us software, so what do you
expect? If you wish the question after the base installation, please
forward this wish to the baseconfig people.

But /boot is still not mounted when you are mounting /, so how should
the autodetection work? BTW, I guess the "notail" option is no longer
needed with the recent formats of ReiserFS. But ReiserFS developers
don't care much about compatibility, IMHO, so better keep using
"notail".

Woody will become Stable. And 2.4.x has still a long way to go to become
really stable. The only real disadvantage of linux-2.2.x are missing
ethernet drivers, and this may be improved if Herbert Xu would use my
patch package.

Feel free to discuss it on an appropriate mailing list.
