Yeah, tilo is broken on 2.4.x kernel's. This line:

	`nm $1 | awk '/A end$/{print$1}'`

Which finds the root address of the image, but it returns blank on
current kernels. Here's the difference:

%nm vmlinux-2.4.4 | grep ' end$'
00000000005c0210 t end
00000000005c5234 t end

%nm vmlinux-2.2.15-sun4u | grep ' end$'
000000000054f208 t end
0000000000634740 A end

I tried using the "t end" address, and of course that didn't
work. (dave, note these symbols are the same whether I use egcs64, or
gcc-3.0).

Any ideas on what the proper address should be?
