My mistake about 512K and the AT distribution.  It's designed to work with
512K AT's because of the smaller ramdisk.  This I believe is attributed to the
size of the root file system.  I accidently tested this theory once by putting
in /usr instead of the root file system and it loaded in the full 360K file
system.  
 
That is true, the AT distribution does have at_wini.c embedded in the binary,
but if you're one of the people who has an XT controller in an AT box, you're
going to have to recompile the kernel to set the interrupt vector for an XT
controller and link in xt_wini.c as opposed to at_wini.c (as with my AT box).
