I had a feeleng that my 'new' bootcode should make this easy!
However I think the 64 should be added on at a different point
- based on some property of the filesystem.

I don't know the actual layout of the raid0 system, but I recall there
is code somewhere that adds in 64 - does that code work?

Is that in the code that loads the kernel?
