It would be possible to have there just the 40k of the installer on the
other partition. SILO already handles multiple kernels (sun4u uses a
different one to sun4c/m/d). The problem is that noone wrote sun4 support
for SILO, and I don't have any sun4 machines nor access to them, so I cannot
write it. I was already asking on the list if anyone wants to write it, but
noone answered.

Cheers,
