As far as I can tell, all the "serious" bugs are port specific in some
way. The serial console problems apparently don't happen on hppa, ia64
or presumably i386. Someone on SPARC or PowerPC needs to confirm or
refute these bugs.
The LILO stuff needs a bit more thought. The udma100-ext3 situation where
hde is actually the "primary" IDE interface clearly needs to be made to
work one way or another. I'm not so sure about the screwball case where
someone has hooked his drives up to hdc/hdd rather than hda/hdb; that one
could maybe be dealt with by documentation. This whole business involves
second guessing what the BIOS is going to do, and it may not be possible
to arrive at a situation where everything works straight off.

Well, dbootstrap can cope with that. It will tailor its language chooser
based on what .trm files it finds at run time. So yeah, this might work.
Do we have the technology to put more languages on the 2880 disks compared
to the 1440 ones?
