You need the latest ofwboot.xcf. I would suggest looking at 1.6.2 or the=20
2.0 betas. Revision 1.8 or 1.9 will work.

The other option is to somehow get a custom kernel which is smaller. I=20
realize if you can't boot that it's hard to compile such a beast. But a=20
kernel that is less than 5 MB will work with the ofwboot you have.

Take care,

Bill
