sun max kernel size

Hi All,


I'm running Linux on my sparcstation 10, currently the 2.6.31.9
kernel. When building a new kernel, the size of the kernel is (on my
system) seems to be limited to about 2.6megs. From what I understand
this limit is not imposed by the sparc architecture, the silo
bootloader or Linux itself, but rather the firmware on the sun box
sets this limit. I'm using ROSS 2.25R firmware on my sun, does anyone
know if different versions of firmware have different maximum kernel
sizes? Is there any way to set parameters in openboot to change this
kernel-size limit?
