The kernel image itself is 2.8M, after uncompression, but I suppose
that the in-core footprint could go over the 3M limit.  OTOH, I was
pretty sure that *one* of the boot loaders I tried used 0x70000 as the
relocation address...

But anyhow:

The syboot-143_ALPHA.fs image boots correctly, so I guess there's no
need to submit a PR.  I guess I should have tried it that about 3 days
ago, though. =)  Thanks a lot for everyone's help.
