Somewhat. We are ready, but since there is no kernel-image
(preferably 2.2 based, but I realize most reiserfs support is in 2.4)
with reiserfs in Debian itself, we can't actually ship boot-floppies
with support for that.

Nope, I don't believe so. We haven't had a chance to get support for
that in debootstrap, the program that configures the boot-loader.

I don't know if there are experimental versions floating around, maybe
someone on this list knows...
