Because the layout of the 16MB flash is as follow...
1) first MB is for Bootloader and its parameter
2) Last 5MB is used for FMD
so intel suggest the OS image must no more than 10MB

if your FMD driver is only for Hive-based registry you could reduce the FMD
size to about 1MB,
therefor you will have more space for your OS image.
