I had to be aggressively Draconian to succeed.
I diked out:
+ Multia, NoName, PC/EB 64, Aspen Alpine support.
+ SCSI tape support
+ AMI MegaRAID controller support
+ All parallel bus support (includes PLIP)
+ vx (3c590, 3c595), pcn (AMD Am79C97x PCI 10/100), sf (Adaptec AIC-6915),
sis (SiS 900/SiS 7016), ste (Sundance ST201 (D-Link DFE-550TX)),
wb (Winbond W89C840F) support.
If the removal of any of this support causes heartburn, please let me know.
only, the libs will still have the `rcsid's in them).
+ mount_mfs is OBE.
+ The Alpha install does not support SLIP, PCCARD or USB installs; so we do
not need the associated userland utils.
+ Do not need libipx as I have conditionally diked that functional out of
ifconfig(8).
Dike out support for DEC3000/300* Pelic* and the DEC3000/[4-9]00
Flamingo/Sandpiper families, SLIP, lance Ethernet (especially since `le'
based Alphas are diked out now too), POSIX P1003_1B real-time extentions,
and last but not least "NOBLOCKRANDOM" since the random device is removed.
This lets us fit [barely!]:

Remove `pmtimer' from the MFSROOT kernel as `apm' is already removed.
`pmtimer' also removed from the Alpha kernel incase it ever winds up there.
(could it ever?)
SCSI card (should it ever find its way into GENERIC); LPT (we don't need
to print during install time); the parallel 'geek' port; generic USB
driver (thus some attached USB devices will not be detected and thus the
user may wonder what is going on, we couldn't do anything with the device
if only ugen attached to it anyway and we are getting very, very low on
available space; USB "Human Interface Devices" as we don't do anything
with them during installation; and USB printers (same argument as LPT).
over flowing its britches. So remove all ppbus bits except those for PLIP
(untested), and all USB bits as SRM does not know what USB is. Also remove
/dev/random as I don't think we need it just for whacking bits onto a disk.

IPv6 configuration is only done by rtsol. Does someone really
need manual configuration? :-)
You can specify IPv6 DNS server as well.
We have only one server ftp7.jp.freebsd.org that speaks IPv6
in this time. ftp7.jp speaks IPv4 as well and also listed as
Japan #7.

src/release/{boot,fixit}_crunch.conf.
- Added machine specific fixit_crunch.conf for PC/AT and PC-98 to
src/release/$MACHINE.
- Use config file in src/release/$MACHINE if exist. If it does not exist,
use in src/release.
boot.flp and plain boot.flp.
- Clean up crunchgen related routine.
- Add PC-98 support.
TODO:
o Documentation
o Fix some messages for PC-98
o Decrease the size of fixit.flp to 1.2MB
o I18N (See: http://www.jp.FreeBSD.org/BootAsia/index.html)

Kill duplicates for programs that have been in the boot crunched image
as well as on the fixit floppy (pwd, newfs, hostname, test). Our
space is really too valuable to have them around there twice. I doubt
pwd needs to be there at all since it's a builtin into sh(1) anyway
(oh, and the same applies to test(1) IIRC), but heck, leave them by
now.
Use the new `fixit' target in MAKEDEV to create the /dev nodes on
the floppy, instead of including the kitchensink...
Finally, tune the values used for creating the floppy. I currently
end up with
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused
/dev/vnn0c 1363 1301 -47 104% 368 14 96%
...which is not quite ideal yet, but at least a working configuration
again.
