I don't like that, because:

1) There is no guarantee that the image "start" will load the whole
   image of "diskless", since the number of the sectors (of "stage2")
   is embedded in "start". You must recreate "start", according to
   that of "diskless".

2) It is generally a Bad Thing to have many different images. That is
   difficult for users to understand and for maintainers to maintain.
