Huh?? I think the kernel requires loop compiled in and not as a module -
the kernel image is extracted from rescue.bin by loop mount before the
modules are loaded from drivers.tgz.

It works on Atari, that's all I know. And I did compile loop and FAT/VFAT
in. Apparently it also works on Mac (also with loop compiled in).
