It is smaller than 32MB.  We did that without "breaking a sweat."
Much smaller is achievable.  I think that w/o much work, Bryan had
shrunk us to a 13MB md-image.  That would not boot, and we put it aside.
I think we needed to set a larger NKPTP.

We are keen on running on very, very cheap, Flash ROM-limited systems
in the future.
