If you have a m68k a.out understanding "size" tool, it will give you 
better information. Eg., if you dont specifythe -S flag (load S-ymbols),
some part of the kernel file won't be loaded.

(Thats the netbsd from the 1.4.2 binary/kernel directory)

jocelyn is 107% size netbsd
text    data    bss     dec     hex     filename
1499616 85468   336332  1921416 1d5188  netbsd

bc tells me (after switching ibase and obase):

1D5188 + 1062AE00
107FFF88
