In fact sbm was added sooner as proved here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-cd@lists.debian.org/msg03529.html
Looking at the archive of this month I found this:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2002/04/msg00365.html
And even sooner I found this:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2002/01/msg00108.html
(and more explanation in the same thread)
I think that we should be able to drop sbm without annoying anyone as all
modern machines are able to boot from CD without troubles.
