Yeah. For some unhelpful reason, all of the menus are disabled in the
installer which makes it hard to see exactly which version is being
installed without running through the entire process :(

Okay as long as you still get a successful 10.2 boot then that's fine
for the moment. I'll commit the patch now and then get the QEMU OpenBIOS
