DOH! ;)

I would guess the only thing you could try is to take the normal lowmem
boot disk, recompile a new, suitable, kernel on some machine with linux 
and patch that over the disk.  I (obviously) don't know the details for
tecra setup's however I sure someone here knows the neccessary tweaks
required.
