Each time it's like cutting out your limbs to fit into tight clothes. What I think we need is to find new clothes, so to speak, i.e. some other way of organizing the content on the floppies. If we don't do it, we will keep loosing. E.g. we could move some of the drivers to the mfsroot.flp as KLDs, and either autoload them later (i.e. not from the bootloader, but using kldload), or have some options in the menu for loading. This way at least we will avoid overflowing kern.flp.
