Done.

I also added a warning message and a 60 second pause if the release
numbers are different, recommending that the media be upgraded.
(if you don't like it, feel free to nuke it)

I also fixed USB support which was totally hosed in the latest DL:

First linuxrc couldn't mount the USB device, and I had to do a fake
mount (-f) to get the usb-storage driver loaded before the real mount.

Then pre_init couldn't mount the USB device with "-t auto" for some
reason (weird), so I put it in a "for" loop trying all the valid
filesystem types.

Both USB problems were verified on VMware 4, and a real PC.
(and now fixed! :)

I also fixed the mount_cdrom script (when it fails and reboots), 
because the "let" command doesn't seem to be supported in ash.
Also, the new busybox "reboot" doesn't work, so I let it crash.

Hope you're having/had a great vacation!   :-)
