problem in gunzip kernel!

Greetings,

The tags are optional and help when multiple targets are selected. If no
tags are found, the default is to load starting at ZKERNEL_START.

However, if ZKERNEL_START == 0xfff80000, there's not enough room for a
kernel unless you've done something interesting there.
G'day,
sjames
