	Track down the copy of the SPD to see if a 6 MB VS2000
	a supported configuration.  It might matter later on.

	The standalone kernel will work in as little as five.  It
	used to be 3.  The generic kernel might work with that,
	because it doesn't expect to have to support anything
	interesting like a window manager.

	What panic?

	Also go check the build directory on the server and look	
	at the "errs" file.  This contains all the output from
	the make command that built the kernel.  If there's any
	errors, it might help explain the why there is a problem.
