Right. The main reason I wanted to make the INSTALL kernel smaller in
just this instance was that it would give us time to come up with a
proper solution, rather than putting the ugly `multiple boot loader'
kludge in to the tree.

Keep in mind that if we do that, we need at least three boot loaders,
one for the 0-4 MB range, one for 4-8, and one for 16-20. (This is to
deal with an IPX/ELC/Classic with 2 x 4 MB SIMMs and also an SS5 with
1 x 8MB SIMM. There may be other combinations out there too....)
