I thought that the kernel in the miboot floppies were specific just to
OldWorld machines. And you already have many flavours of it being built.

I understand that the kernels have to be generic, but, say, including
one specific feature of a pegasos machine in a miboot floppy isn't
something that I would expect (even if it can be offloaded to a
ramdisk).
