No, prompatch shouldn't affect bootblock version. prompatch is a
moral equivalent of an nvram script. It's just here in the boot block
for convenience (imagine a lab or seti@home farm made of bunch of
mr.coffee boxes - you certainly don't want to mess with each and every
one to get netbsd booted on it).
i disagree; bootblock version describes the features set. you added
a feature (prompatch) so the version should change.
