This has never been the case with any Woody install CD I've ever seen. 
"bf24" is the boot kernel choice for that, and it's documented in the
usual way way in one of the boot help screens as well as the
installation docs.  There are three or four different install kernels
to choose from, and always have been as far back as I can recall (the
choices used to include a stripped down one that could install in as
little as 4M of RAM, but that was a long time ago - Bo, maybe Hamm, but
by Slink you needed at least 8M IIRC).
