Comments/Problems:
I had successfully installed Beta 3 inside of VMware ESX 2.0 before. But
I have been unable to install Beta 4.  I tried installing using the stable
bootstrap.  The installation runs fine.  But when it reboots, Grub shows
a kernel for an AMD K7, not a Pentium IV.  If I hit enter, it just reboots.

Apparently, the hardware detection is detecting an AMD processor instead of
a Xeon processor.  Like I said, it worked in Beta 3.

Closing this old report as the issue was not so much kernel selection as 
kernel availability on the installation media.
As a lot has changed in the mean time, I doubt this report is relevant any 
more.

Cheers,
FJP
