If you mount a bootdisk and view the readme.txt file, or view
/install/ch-boot-floppy-techinfo.html on the cdrom, you will find it tells
you "You can place any compressed Linux kernel on this disk, and it should
boot" and tells you what you need compiled into the kernel
(initrd, ramdisk, loop, msdos, fat, minix, elf, ext2fs, procfs.)

It might be worth your while downloading a bootfloppy image and writing it
to disk, then compiling a kernel for it, and check to see if it boots and
runs the setup menu, before you go on-site.
