Under OpenBSD 2.8, directly loading the kernel with GRUB
results in the kernel panicking with a 'boot to old: upgrade'. GRUB
won't load the boot loader because it complains of a 1MB limit.

Complilation and installation aren't a problem.

Either I am wrong (hopefully) or it's broken. Unless someone
gives me a solution, I'll go ahead and patch it and then post the patch
here.
