This would require you build your own kernel and integrate it
into the installer. My understanding was Kyle McMartin was
going to do that. Please wait until he can provide an installer
image for you to test.

In general, I haven't looked at our build process in a while.
You can take a look at the "Developer Resources" links at the bottom
of the www.parisc-linux.org navigation bar. The "Build Kernel"
is the most recent one....and it looks stale since it refers
to CVS (which we stopped using about 8 monthes ago).
Use "git" instructions to get kernel source and then follow
the rest of the instructions if you still wish to build
your own kernel.
