Just fooling around. There's a lot of that to be done.

Not sure why 0x100000. Looks a lot like a round number they picked out
of the air, but I'm reading that as the start of the second meg of memory.
Is this some sort of index to the kernel routines, or the actual start 
of the kernel itself?  What's in the first meg?

You've forgotten that Linux's unarj is broken. I used DOS's and got a
filename case conversion. The makefile fails.. A chore to reconstruct
things so that linux's gcc will work. Surely you have tar or info-zip
around, eh?
