I just have a quick look at it, one good thing of the xen boot (called
dboot) is that it links some of the boot-up modules(such as krtld, unix and
genunix?) on build time, not as originally linking them by krtld after
kernel and modules are loaded. interesting.

that is right. AFAIK,  they are almost the same approach (Kernel + ramdisk
archive) with minor difference, as long as we have ours up, it should be not
difficult to test other ideas.
