uhmm, now the thing is a bit more complicated :-|
it seems I would need glibc to link against libreiserfs, and even a
gzipped version would fit on a floppy, it would not fit on a 4 megs
ramdisk... I should then use a 8 megs ramdisk, and maybe that means I
should change the kernel on the bootdisk too :(

I have not got the skills to do these things, unless it involves just in
appending an option to the configure script ;)
