Note that part of this dichotomy is because no one has fixed up the booter
and kernel to support both out of one kernel. The only difference is in
which SCSI driver is attached. AFAICT the only thing keeping them both out
of the same kernel is that they will both match at boot. If we had a way
that the booter could tell one or the other, but not both, to attach at
boot, we wouldn't need two kernels.

Take care,
