- It looks like you are using the kernel made by me since I just defined 4
- VCs to save some RAM/disk space for floppy root disk. Get the source and
- recompile the kernel yourself. You may can save more by disabling some
- options you don't need. My kernel on my hd is at least 20K smaller than
- the one I put on floppy disk.
