Use it with "-ml -m3" switches, and don't forget to define EXEC_TYPE (-dEXEC_TYPE=?).

EDIT: Peronally I used to build it the followings:
tasm -ml -m2 -dEXEC_TYPE=2 kernel
tasm -ml -m3 -dEXEC_TYPE=2 dos32a
tlink /3 dos32a kernel, dos32a
You can use instead Tlink any other linker supporting OMFs with 32-bit fixups and MZ output.
