According to the install manual you can pick from idepci, vanilla,
compact, bf24 and type it at the "boot:" prompt.  When I typed bf24 I got
"Could not find kernel image: bf24".  That was with the 3.0 netinstall
image.

Also according to the manual disk 5 will boot the bf24 image.

I dl it and see what happens.
