Why not make a tiny second stage booter? Then you can launch any size kernel once you've got around braindead PC ISA architecture. Obviously, it's worthwhile to have bzImage for floppies, but otherwise, a unlimited size kernel is good.
Almost every other Intel based unix or unix look alike uses this strategy. -- Andrew Vanderstock <a href="mailto:andrew.van.der.stock@member.sage-au.org.au">
