With the addition of the DOS FS, the kernel has grown to over
256K, which, if my memory serves me correctly, was the max
size I compiled it to load of /Image. At any rate, it doesn't
seem to boot for me any more. And since I don't have minix
386 anymore...
Anyways, now that extended FS is here, we only need a few partitions.
Maybe one for DOS, one for the root partition and one for the
extended partition, plus one for the boot partition = 4.
Just right. When the kernel can use an EXT FS for the root
then we may need even one less. And if/when the DOS emulator,
we can even skip the DOS partition and run it from a file.
