The reason we do it with preseeding rather than by run-time detection is
because otherwise the server kernel ends up being installed for *all*
PAE-capable machines that perform a netboot installation, which I don't
think is appropriate. Unfortunately you can't assume that the -server
kernel should be used if it's available and the system supports it,
otherwise this would be a lot simpler.
We need some way to select the -server kernel if the system is capable
of it, if it's available, *and* we're installing from the server CD.
Right now, there's no mechanism that would permit this, so one would
have to be invented.
