Err, what is the problem in having 2.4 floppy debian-installer, and then
install the 2.6 kernel on the installed system. We also have this
problem on powerpc, and another solution may be a separate kernel
flavour for 2.6 debian-installer floppies. Altough we are only 300-400KB
away of fiting on a floppy with miboot.
