The first part to load, after the boot sector, would have to fit in
640 kb. Possibly it would have to be smaller than that. I don't know
how the Haiku boot loader works, but I know that the Linux boot loader
plays all kinds of weird games, switching between 16 and 32 bit mode
as it loads up pieces of itself.
