Blimey - brings back memories. Remember him doing that work. Seems the T1500
comes up in protected mode rather than real, so a shim was added to the
front of the kernel. Also there was a limit on the size of the kernel one
could netboot. Someone needs to write the T1500 boot loader that can load
any kernel.
