This, of course, is a global problem everywhere.  A secure channel
requires a shared secret, in this case between the developers and the
end user.  How does the user get their initial OS image if it didn't
come with their machine or they didn't buy it in a brick and mortar
store (both hard for FLOSS).  Solutions in the non-general case are
nice, but we should also remember that we have no general case
solution either.

(Likewise for firmware, but that's much worse)
