Fix the bootstrap stack allocation units, reduce measured m68k system-task stacks, shrink CDVDFS readahead, and retire its unused prefs monitor when codesets.library is unavailable. Avoid creating CD32 services until they are needed, including the FMV worker and phantom floppy support. Use Akiko EEPROM storage directly instead of mounting a RAM-backed NVRAM filesystem.\n\nTogether these changes raise free chip RAM at Microcosm startup from 1,236,496 to 1,562,168 bytes. The larger game animation arena prevents the CDXL producer/consumer wrap deadlock and allows the game to complete its introduction and enter gameplay on a stock 2 MB CD32 configuration.
