MODULAR miniroot.kmod would be benefitial to small
embedded NetBSD products.  miniroot.kmod is, in
essense, a kind of "root on md0" switch.  MODULAR-aware
LIBSA can choose to switch the target md0 image whose
content is stripped down userland.

In these days, there is a growing marketing push of microSD
for embedded products.   Some SoC are even able to boot
directly from socketed multi-giga-byte microSD media, removing
soldered down NOR flash from PCB.  When NetBSD LIBSA
bootloader is made right, miniroot.kmod can be stored in the
store as well as kernel image.  It may become a
standard way to make commercial embedded NetBSD
product on HW which has microSD FAT store as a primary
stroage.
