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!
