    I'm unhappy about losing support for reading from kfs partitions,
    but maybe that's not too common a case.  (I hadn't realized that
    that went away before.  I thought Tim told me he kept that.  But
    kfs is definitely gone from the proto file.)
    
    I'm more unhappy about losing support for reading ext2 partitions.
    I think a Linux user installing from their Linux partition is
    probably a much more common case than the kfs one, now.
    
    I added fcp to the proto file, per Tim's warning.
    
    Instead of putting the venti binaries in the floppy, why not
    make a separate venti formatting pass that happens after 
    the file system has been initialized?  Then we can use the 
    Venti binaries from the new file system and not need floppy 
    space.
    
    Also, if we're going to rename /n/kfs, let's call it /n/newfs
    so that it's clear what it is.  There are too many /n paths
    and I've forgotten which is which.
    
    Thanks for the patch.  I'm glad to see the install program
    being updated.  If you submit a new patch that addresses
    the above I'll apply it.
