It's fine that GENERIC is used for installation. But, GENERIC is
supposed to be for "generic" use, in which more people are expected to
use the parallel port for printing than for PLIP.
I would suggest the parallel port should be configured with the "tty"
mask in GENERIC. The kernel for the install floppy can change it to
the "net" mask; the kernel configuration file for the install floppy
is generated from GENERIC by modifying bits and pieces anyway.
