Which probably wouldn't be a bad thing.  ;-)
I don't know if there's any push to support ELF for m68k on NetBSD.
I think there was some desire for this at one time, though.

One solution might be to make the booter completely public domain.  I
don't know if the current authors would go for that, but I think that
license type is acceptable to both NetBSD and Linux projects.
