Perhaps just for the fun of it, I was trying to figure out what could be the smallest kernel I could get for a diskless system. By removing most things I managed to a 544.319 bytes kernel (some 70KB are symbols), although this has FFS and no WD/FD driver. NFS instead of FFS requires 100KB more. I was wondering, is there some option (apart from gzip) which can be turned on to produce a smaller kernel ? Especially for NFS, perhaps the 100KB are for both client & server, UDP and TCP code ?
