2.1.0-RELEASE supported ATAPI CD-ROM with the atapi.flp boot floppy. I expect
2.1.5 to do the same. I don't know if the two floppies will be merged or not.

Improved VM (yeah, again), more drivers, 2.2 will maybe have a working LFS,
union will be fixed, pipes are more than 2 times faster, the standard malloc
is much better and many more.
