There's no reason you couldn't do a tiny bootloader for ARM as well. The
actual mechanics of loading the kernel are pretty trivial. As to ARM code
being less compact, yes that's true, but it compresses better so in extremis
you could use gzexe to gain some savings. Thumb would also be an option
though not for RiscPC or A5000 obviously.
