Nope.  Have you seen how far it gets through the boot sequence?  How many
gray bars do you get with the latest booter and kernel?

Work with locore.s...  The booter will start executing at the label _start:
You might want to use the sources on sun-lamp since they're much closer to
being up to date than what you have in 13.tar.  Then again, you should
probably get the 13.tar version built first since it's known to work...
