Comment (by phoudoin):

 I'm thinking to modify BuildFloppyBootImage1 actions to fail when haiku
 loader size is greater than ARCHIVE_IMAGE_OFFSET kb, which will at least
 make this case detected earlier, by BOM.

 A smart solution will be to *compute* at build time this offset.
 But I'm not Jam fluent enough to see how to do that in correct order: both
 boot loader and tarfs add-on needs this info at build time, way before
 haik_loader is built and BuildFloppyBootImage1 called... Or at least that
 what I understood so far.
