Hi folks,

When I compile a kernel with a lot of drivers and the size of my
kernel exceeds the 550k mark in size the bootstrap gives me
this error:
file too big to load will try 3886bsd.alt or something like that!
Does anybody have any ideas do I have to update my bootstraps or what?
What did I miss , please help!
