That functionality was removed to fix (the fast&easy way) a memory leak
that was causing the "restart-after-installing-the-base-system" bug.
But it's on my TODO list.

list should display a list of directories that contain the file
resc1440.bin (or base2_0.tgz if you are in the "Install Base System"
step) for you to choose.

There are some hooks to implement that, but currently it's only another
item on the TODO list. (The plan is having a working set first, so the
boot-floppies won't delay hamm's release).
