It seems that any time I try booting a kernel with "too many"
things, I get the "loader overlaps bss, kernel must bzero" message
in which case the kernel invariably croaks soon after starting.
Is there anything that can be done about this?  The messages in
locore seem to indicat that that's not the right place for the kernel
to clear it's bss area.  Where'd be a better place?  Is the code there
to do it?

					- Thanks for any info
