Yes, I agree. The netinstall stuff is only really useful once the FTP 
mirrors start carrying the new distribution format, so it isn't hooked 
up yet. I've been keeping track of (and minimizing) the tools used by 
the installer, which should help select what things should do on this 
disk and in case we also want to produce some super-minimal TFTP-able 
MFS root in the future.
