If you edit the file '/usr/share/debian-cd/tools/boot/woody/boot-i386'
(or whatever your platform is) to include:
# what kernel-type to put on what disk?
# a null "" value will use the default boot-disk kernel
#
KTYPE[1]="reiserfs"
Then the first CD created will have a bootable reiserfs kernel, plus
the modules for that kernel and a neat bootstrap installer that knows
how to make reiser partitions and mount them with the right options.
Assuming you include 'make bootable' when building the CD's with the
debian-cd package.
Unfortunately, the boot-floppy stuff doesn't seem to be working
correctly (3.0.12-2001-08-21) -- the modules won't load so I can't
get my network card running (3C509) and it can't find the base system
on the CD either.
But when the boot floppies are ready, it'll be really slick!
