Not really much point in making this a separate partition... there
were bugs in aboot for huge disks, but I think they have been fixed by
now, so the kernel may reside anywhere on the hard disk.

There are no 2.4 Alpha boot floppies; I didn't think it would be worth
the trouble, since 2.4 doesn't support more machines, and you can
always switch later.
