The standard install kernel is something like 1.95MB, so the current 2MB
diskimage is nearly out of room.  I haven't tried to build a -current
install kernel, so this may well not fit now.  However, not everything
would be needed on the diskimage - I dunno if a custom cut-down one
could be made, but it would be a bit of effort...
