Yes, I ran into both the 512k limit that grub-setup enforces, and even
when under that, but still close, my test system throws a read error
from diskboot.S trying to load the whole image. Is the decompression
done in real mode too, so even uncompressed, it has to fit in 512k?
Maybe diskboot.S could load only the kernel+builtin modules part of
the image, make sure biosdisk is built in, and have memdisk load the
memdisk part of the image once it initializes and is in protected mode?
