Kernel not installed from CD

I haven't seen a report on this before, although I heard other people
being hit by the same problem before. Doing a fresh install from a BETA2
cd forgets to install the kernel and modules to disk. Everything else is
installed just fine, so a simple copy of /dist/kernel/ to the installed
disk easily fixes the problem. A wild guess would be that this has
something to do with the SMP detection, although the first machine was
SMP and the second UP. If this already is reported and fixed, I'll just
shut up and get a newer BETA :-)
