; A Linux kernel consists of three parts: boot sector, setup code, and
; kernel code. The boot sector is never executed when using an external
; booting utility, but it contains some status bytes that are necessary.
;
; First check that our kernel is at least 1K, or else it isn't long
; enough to have the appropriate headers.
;
; We used to require the kernel to be 64K or larger, but it has gotten
; popular to use the Linux kernel format for other things, which may
; not be so large.
;
; Additionally, we used to have a test for 8 MB or smaller. Equally
; obsolete.
