Hmm,
you are right with all that.
In order to support all the 386-486 we should have recompiled the kernel
with math-coprocessor emulation and that modifies all the boot images.
We had no time to deal with all that for the moment and the installation
team had even less time for that as they deal with 8.0 now.
