I have't plan to merge by myself.
If you have bebox and test OK, then please commit.

It is to influence only bebox and prep, perhaps.  Both were tested by

hmmm...
BeBox's BootROM(firmware) reads only BeFS and Old-BeFS.  Also filename is
kernel or kernel_joe.  Our kernel makes from 'boot+netbsd' image.
