experimental server-ovz-netinst image

It's now possible to:
- make distro/server-ovz.iso;
- make distro/server-ovz-netinst.iso;
- publish the former image's contents on ftp.linux.kiev.ua;
- boot the latter (~17M) image and enjoy the netinstall ;-)

The catch is that the stage2 (altinst file) location has to be
hardwired into syslinux config snippet for things to happen
automatically -- even if it can be specified manually in case
of failure.

The other catch is that currently a netinstall image is somewhat
tied to the particular image it installs since stage1 kernel and
stage2 modules must correspond strictly (the typical symptoms of
the glitch would be missing mouse driver and weird "permission
denied" errors during an attempt to partition the hard drives).

It might be desirable to provide multi-distro netinstall image...
