My last attempt to build a smaller kernel without PROCFS, pty, all
redundant devices (mostly those with a unit number of 1, since they
could easily be achieved by boot -c), and without BOUNCE_BUFFERS (not

Still more than the magic 2 MB limit. :-(
(This is the final BOOTMFS kernel, with 1075 KB MFS, as of the Oct 1
src/release/Makefile.)
