64MB is^H^H was very much useful and workable i386 config. i386 kernel
does fit into the 32M but current automatic tuning prevents usermode
from operating. Little manual tuning make 32M on tolerable.

Making loader require 64M is a regression. At very least, it is
impossible to test low mem configs anymore.
