Yes, it is exactly what i thought, because i tested it with Slax, and it
worked very well.

Then, it could means what i have to recompile the netinstall kernel,
build the new personalized netinstall, and burn CD. if it were not
possible activating it at boot. Is it correct?

PS:
Is it possible installing from Slax, chrooting i mean?
