My commit touches boot code only, no kernel i involved, yet things
have been binary compared.  I've made one mistake though (fixed
yesterday) that caused /usr/lib/kgzldr.o to be stripped, thus the
kgzipped loader(8) wasn't functional.  But this was only visible
if you attempted to boot with ISO image.

So if you're not cdbooting or cdbooting and see the loader prompt,
my commit is not the culprit.

P.S. I know that PHK has backed out his change to syscons.c that
caused the reboot.  I'm replying only to attract some more
attention to the problem I introduced with cdbooting on Feb 11,
and that was fixed yesterday.
