The problem is not so simple:
- atari ports also supports "loadbsd" command for T-OS (Atari's native OS)
and it loads kernel from MS-DOS format floppy (no way to split)
- sparc ports doesn't have ustarfs floppy support (yet)
- some ports has restriction of kernel size (i.e. ramdisk size),
not floppy size
