I have *NOT* implemented support for the following, which I'm hoping
has fallen out of use by now:
-> When loading the ramdisk from a block device, stop and
ask the user for a second disk.
This is most certainly still being used, e.g. in Debian to allow
starting the installer from floppy disks.
Well, I just pushed out a klibc/kinit tree which should have this
functionality (untested, however.) Unlike the mainstream kernel, this
should work for kinit even when the ramdisk is compressed.
