If memory serves, I got message about the file just loaded not being
executable.  I have since re-tried the 1.5_ALPHA2 miniroot and gotten it to
boot.  I'm now fighting through PR install/10942.

I didn't include all of the necessary info to debug because I was just
trying to find someone who has seen the miniroot work on an SS10.  So far,
I have not received notice of anyone using the miniroot.  Netboot and
floppy seem to be more popular loading methods.
