 A word of caution. I undecoded cv as instructed, and the checksum
is ok. BUT, Its broken.  When the minix sources .../kernel/... are
made, cv fails, complaining about 'only longs can be relocated'.
The resulting kernel, minix.img is then brain damaged.

Note, this even fails on the standard distribution copy of minix/kernel.
