This patch puts the initrd starting at 29MB (was 13MB). That
would probably break any machines with 32MB memory configurations.
So I need to check if there are any which might plausibly be run
with 32MB (and if so maybe set initrd load address based on
ram_size?)
Also 13MB is an absolutely ginormous kernel...
