So it's not necessary to specify a payload here? is the usage of
ZKERNEL_START and USE_ELF_BOOT contradictionary to PAYLOAD?

when specifying payload to the above, the size of the bios image is
always assumed to be 512k, even though i have not found where this is
defined. Any hints?
Additionally i'm still stuck with free_mem_end_ptr sticking to
0x00000000, while free_mem_ptr is 0x04xxxxxx or 0x05xxxxxx depending on
which binutils i used (2.11.90.0.29 and 2.11.92.0.10)
Best regards,
