These kinds of problems used to happen if there was a mismatch between
the linload.exe and MILO, as MILO expects the linload.exe to pass it
info about the memory size. If it does NOT get what it expects, it will
default to 24MB, which was the default minimum config of UDBs.

Either upgrade to an appropriate pair of linload/MILO (preferred),
or try doing:

	set MEMORY_SIZE 32

in MILO, and then booting the kernel.
