If someone's able to help me do it, I wouldn't mind. If not, that'd be
the next step for me to look into.
When using a mainline kernel to boot the machine with the etch installer
ramdisk, everything works fine with the exception of a warning about
partition types to use. I'm guessing it's a simple addition to a platform
detection table that's missing, it should do well with whatever Maple
already uses. Figuring out how to rebuild the installer image is likely
the trickiest part of it. :-)
