CRC32 feature in FreeBSD's bootloader

[Andrew Duane]

I'm all for it, depending on what you do with it. The bootloader I implemented for my platform tags every image it writes into flash with a checksum (we use MD5, not CRC32, but still), and can keep multiple copies as backup.

Subject: CRC32 feature in FreeBSD's bootloader

Hello,

A few months ago I posted a new feature in the FreeBSD bootloader.
So far I haven't received any comments so I'll try to revive this topic.

It may be of use to somebody. So any comments and suggestions?

Greetings,
Boris Astardzhiev
