This was what I was told and I've verified that it is true :-)
I've also verified that the ARC console hardware configuration
says that I have 64MB of memory. MILO still hangs if I set
the MEMORY_SIZE to 64. I'll try to track this down as soon as
I can get a kernel to build.

btw. Where can I find 'quickstrip'? A 'make boot' requires it but
the BLADE_0.3 distribution doesn't seem to have it. I tried
a soft link to just 'strip' however the resulting kernel
doesn't boot.
