I don't think that's what he said.  I think the context mentioned
12MB, and that such machines could not be installed/upgraded using
the two-floppy images.

Well, a GENERIC i386 kernel currently weighs in at 8359807 bytes,
with sizes:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
7156796  299568  362452 7818816  774e40 netbsd-GENERIC
