Well, that'd explain a bunch.  So I 'spose the next question would
be if the NetBSD loader can fire up a FreeBSD kernel.  I've used
NetBSD's dosboot dos kernel loader before with FreeBSD, what are the
odds it'll work on PPC as well?  (Now I have to figure out how to
make a custom NetBSD boot floppy, and find a FreeBSD-PPC kernel
small enough.)
