Largely because the miniroot and the kernel both have to be loaded into
memory before booting. That's in addition to the system, finder,
application, extensions, etc... You could probably kick the hard limit
up, but I don't want to distribute a miniroot larger than 1MB because a
lot of macs only have 4-5MB of RAM...
