Personally, I'd rather see us punt on the whole loader issue
where-ever possible. It seems reasonable enough to use "other
people's loaders" to boot Plan 9. I believe Ron talks about booting
Plan 9 from LinuxBIOS on the Wiki and I'm sure other loaders could be
made to work. We have enough to do without having to worry about
writing boot loaders.
