It looks like you are using the kernel made by me since I just defined 4
VCs to save some RAM/disk space for floppy root disk. Get the source and
recompile the kernel yourself. You may can save more by disabling some
options you don't need. My kernel on my hd is at least 20K smaller than
the one I put on floppy disk.
