There is no problem with 'zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdX' and copying
a netinst 9.3 image to a USB stick. Boots fine and locates the image.
Then I get the dreaded "No kernel modules found...mismatch...kernel
used by this version of the installer...kernel version available in
the archive". Hopefully, a 9.4 image would fix that.
