This would have to be on the syslinux splash screen? AFAIK, with the 1GB 
bug, you don't really seen anything but that?

Of course, the errata site *is* listed in the installation instructions, 
easily accessible on the CD, but who would think to look there ;-).

Maybe the syslinux boot screen should tell the user to read the docs if 
anything goes wrong? Or is it wrong to expect a user to read instructions 
nowadays?
