Honestly, for MBR booting, the defaults are wrong. mbr + uefi is kinda
niche. The rpi is the only platform we have where it's used. Other places
it's possible, but with large disks everybody uses GPT when they can
regardless of the size of the disk. Plus config is a little easier...

All the loader*(8) man pages need a lot of work.
