Kind of hijacking the thread - while we are gradually moving from mbr+bsdlabel
to gpt and more, we are also moving from away from size-constrained boot2.
My vision is that boot2 and loader should fuse into something more powerful that
would reside in a boot partition, but with its config files on a "regular"
filesystem.
