I won't be able to attend, but after some recent work on
ARM booting, I'm very curious if there are emerging
conventions (I hesitate to use the word "standards")
for how ARM systems boot.

Warner's been talking about working towards a true
GENERIC kernel on ARM.  That looks almost feasible,
but we still seem a long ways from being able to build
a generic bootloader.

Is this likely to change?
