Another problem I had with that snap here is that it does not install
on a machine with 8M RAM. It started installing, but stopped in
random places during file copy. It did work after I remade the
kern.flp with only the devices I had (thus, using less memory).
I noticed that swapping was disabled in the BOOTMFS kernel. Is this
really necessary ? How hard is to add an option "use this swap
partition during install", or even a "create and use a vn swap file in
/usr/tmp during install" ?
Or should I just assume 8M RAM machines are not any more supported ?

PS: Wow !!! The new loader made dealing with boot.flp a very easy
task. :)
