Ok...was able to free a total of 66M by removing old kernels.  Install
went ok, and required 34M total in /boot (resulting free space in /boot
32M).

$ ls -l /boot

total 53904

I didn't look in /boot prior to upgrade, but it looks like the installer made 
backup copies of *all* existing initrd.img.  Otherwise, the total install 
should have taken around 11 or 12M.

Until now, I have always made a small /boot partition.  I guess that
practice will end today...
