  The worst problem is that there is no substantive specification or
protocol for *BSD bootstrap interface (AFAIK). I think the fact is one
of the reasons why they often break the compatibility. I hope that
*BSD developers will write specifications, like Linux/i386 boot
protocol or the Multiboot Specification.
