Hi,

Using the netbsd "os restore cd" and the boot loader that it uses, I 
boot a much larger kernel:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  2950114 Oct 18 15:30 /netbsd-BYRON

with nearly everything turned on (ipv6, ipsec, nfs, ipfilter, etc.).  
I'd be happy to post my config, but really the trick is using the great 
work done for the os restore cd.
