I did some experiments today, following Marcus' instructions. I think
you should use switch the first two files, like

kernel = .../kickstart
module = .../ia32-kernel
module = .../sigma0
module = .../pingpong

I'm not sure how this works, I just guess kickstart is more multiboot
compliant than ia32-kernel.

I've been able to load Marcus' root servers. For pingpong, however, I
don't know what to expect. Nothing interesting happened when I tried
that, so I can't say if it worked.
