Can the new bootloader boot old versions of RiscBSD? I have 1.3 alpha
installed but rarely booted on an ARM6 RiscPC with 1Mb VRAM.

If the new bootloader cannot boot what I have got, can someone (Chris?) sell
me a CD with 1.5 and idiot proof installation instructions - e.g. do I trash
my current installation and start from scratch or use UnixFS to copy
everything into the BSD partition replacing what is already there?
