alas, this is *very* hard to achieve, unless you strip the default kernel so
that it fits on the boot media.
eg:
pixel@leia:~>ll /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-10mdk /export/boot/vmlinuz
685 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 696384 Sep 20 11:38 /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-10mdk
484 -rw-r--r-- 1 pixel RR 488098 Oct 4 02:34 /export/boot/vmlinuz
200Kb is huge!
