I have a problem: I can't get a small appl. of mine to work
without the 'iserver' even when linked with the reduced
library(Inmos Dx214). Isn't that the idea of the startrd.lnk?

The answer is:

If you don't configure the application, but just use icollect
to build the bootable file, then the code added tries
to talk to iserver to get some environment, such as the
IBOARDSIZE symbol. What you must do is configure the 
application (using icconf), then icollect. In this case, the
memory size is taken from the configuration file rather than
dynamically via IBOARDSIZE, so no server interaction occurs.

Yes I know it's a pain having to build configuration files 
each time, but that's the way it is!
