Note also that booting a kernel image larger than 1044480 bytes
can never work on the Sun3/50 because the frame buffer is right
smack at 1MB physical.  The kernel loads starting at 16KB so the
image size limit is 1MB-16KB for text+data+bss+ bootstrap stuff.
(So, the maximum image size is actually a little smaller still.)

Yet another reason to use 3/50 boxes as X terminals...
