I boot my kernel from a floppy disk.  To make it small enough to fit on the
disk, I strip it and gzip it.  By stripping I lose the ability to gather
system stats via top, or vmstat.

Is there a way to restore the information lost due to stripping to the already
running kernel?

Is there a way to create a boot disk with less overhead than the one used
for kern.flp?

Thanks as always,
Nick Maniscalco
