As we're already using 2.88 Mb ElTorito "floppies", we can build
default kernel (cdrom/boot/bzImage) with much more modules for
storage support compiled in. My experience suggests that having
support for generic IDE/ATAPI, all 3 sorts of USB hosts, nearly
all SATA and most popular SCSI host adapters should be included
into the kernel, and support for all other devices can be kept in
cdrom/lib/modules/* (yes, it will require kernel rebuild during
installation process, but that's trivial).
