[parisc-linux] kernel compile

[Aaron St. Pierre]

Yes, the boot partition is < 2GB. In fact here is the partion table as 
reported from fdisk. 

Disk /dev/sda: 9100 MB, 9100044288 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 8678 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *         1        29     29680   f0  Linux/PA-RISC boot
/dev/sda2            30       267    243712   83  Linux
/dev/sda3           268      1221    976896   82  Linux swap
/dev/sda4          1222      5989   4882432    5  Extended
/dev/sda5          1222      3128   1952752   83  Linux
/dev/sda6          3129      5989   2929648   83  Linux

I will also add this info to my parisc page. I am going to start ripping
things out of the kernel a bit later today. One thing I will admit
ignorance about is the F0 partition. The debian install got vmlinux32 to
live in there but I haven't gotten any other kernels to live in there.
Not that that really matters since once can boot off of a kernel that
lives in an ext2 fs as long as it is within the first 2GB. Yawn, just
waking up ...
