Does anyone have any info on building a kernel for FreeBSD-1.0-EPSILON
which loads above the 1mb boundary.  I've looked and can't see any info
on how to build such a beast.   I'd like to for various reasons, one being
I'd like to be able to put MORE than 16Mb of ram on my machine.  It looks
like it's dooable (not sure, just looks like it) but I've been unable to do
so todate.  Any help would be appreciated.
