I know that NetBSD/hpcmips uses Windows CE as a boot loader.  It will
be harder on the Xbox, since Windows CE 3.0 breaks many of the
interfaces that pbsdboot.exe used.  Don't know if that was on purpose,
or if it was accidental to cleaning up the horrible protection
mechanisms that were in place before.
