Eelco Dolstra abbe260a80 * Don't use modprobe but insmod in the initrd. This means we don't
need module-init-tools in the initrd, since insmod is in klibc.
* Give the installation CD a label.

# the second boot stage. The closure of the result of this expression
# is supposed to be put into an initial RAM disk (initrd).
