Dunno about the "compact" 2.2.20 kernel, but it IS supported in the
"bf2.4 kernel. You are also asked about it during the HD File System
setup & initialization questions early in the install. I just did a
couple of network installs using this kernel last week, and it was all
there. I chose the "ext3" option and everything was done automatically
for me during the install, including any fstab entry. I didn't have to
do anything to get it to boot off the ext3 partition.
