Allow the install script arch/i386/boot/install.sh to fall back to try
the generic "installkernel" command if a CROSS_COMPILE version isn't
available.

the rationale here:
after cross-compiling the kernel for x86_64, i (accidentally) left
the CROSS_COMPILE variable on the make line when i tried to install
the kernel:
# make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64- install
as you can see, if you don't have a custom version, the install script
will eventually try to run lilo. barf.
is it reasonable, after you check for the custom version, to drop
down and try the generic version (which would have worked just
fine)?
or is there a cleaner solution? or is this the correct logic after
all?
