Correct; basically, *if* the module is built for kernel-BOOT, and it's
in modules.cgz on the second stage installer, and you pass the command
line option, it will work.

Currently, the module is not built (don't recall why, off the top of
my head), and therefore it's not on the images.

The tools are still there. I don't recall if making a driver disk
for filesystems works. I doubt it does.
