yep, dropping minix will cleave a small lump off the kernel.

well, if we need the following
s:startup-sequence - a few bytes...
libs:ppc.library (for powerup - not needed for A1200, but for a3k/a4k
a1200 has this in ROM)
*or* we go with WarpUP....which ever has the smallest libraries
envarc: a few bytes of required env: variables for WarpUP (if used)
the boot tool (eg one i'm working on.....) tens of K
could be compressed (eg with stonecracker) if
needed)
bootstrap + the bootstrap_pup or bootstrap_wup - 100's of k's
How much fits onto one 880K formatted disk, i cant recall, its been so
long....is it 856k?
I can see the kernel needing to be ~500k ....nasty....could 2.2.10 get
this small?
