Hmm... I need to take a closer look at the new bootloader, then. I
remember you were saying that it doesn't work yet with HDDs, right? (or
were they floppies..)

Then we probably want to keep it, because there is already problem with
space on the boot.flp. However, this also probably means that the
installation floppies will stay a.out, which also means running an a.out
kernel. Am I right?
