It'd be nice, but I think the BSD's are going to be pretty skeptical. FreeBSD, in particular, has a very nice boot loader. I rather like it, it reminds me of OpenBoot. The man page for loader.conf describes some of the environment stuff I mentioned: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=loader.conf&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+4.5-stable&format=html
