Ah, excellent point.  We've taken out _all_ of the USB stuff (totally
useless on a 7500) and everything else not relevant to a 7500 and get:

# uname -a
NetBSD t982.rse.com 1.4ZB 
NetBSD 1.4ZB (EASTERN-1.4ZB) #0: Mon Jun 12 19:13:12 EDT 2000
mlr@t982.rse.com:/usr/local/NetBSD/current/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/EASTERN-1.4ZB macppc

# size /netbsd
text    data    bss     dec     hex     filename
1924244 81696   220032  2225972 21f734  /netbsd

the kernel boots fine.

(I've been wondering about this kernel load base stuff.  We've never
actually fiddled with it.  So it's the size of the kernel that
matters, eh?)
