Both loading GENERIC kernel from wd0a by bootxx/ofwboot and
loading INSTALL kernel from boot floppies work fine
with RELOC=0xe00000:

But now I notice both GENERIC_MD and INSTALL have the following lines:

>> # Change base address to 0x800000 to use large memory disk.
>> makeoptions     TEXTADDR=0x800000

so I wonder which address we should set RELOC...
(current GENERIC_MD is ~7MB, so it would fail with RELOC=0xe00000
 if TEXTADDR is 0x800000.)
