Are you sure that 2 MB is enough? Considering that it needs to load the
bootstrap, the kernel image and also the ramdisk all to the ST-RAM? Or
is the ramdisk loaded to FastRAM already? The question is whether the
kernel itself fits into less than 2 MB of ST-RAM (it's not full 2048 kB
of free RAM, several hundred kB is already occuppied by TOS data
structs).
