Okay after some talks here it appears that supporting the second stage
ramdisk is required at least when installing from a vfat partition
(problems of symlinks on the vfat partitions, for example).
So I'll implement that right now.
When done, you'll need, as before, only /RPMS and /base, if you have more
than 52 Mbytes, to do an hd.img install.
