I'm not sure the question even makes sense, since in many cases the
loader is constrained by port-specific issues.  For example, in at
least a couple of cases (mac68k and amiga, I think), you have to boot
the native OS and then run the bootloader under that.

Or is that irrelevant to the question you wanted to ask?  Then I'm
afraid I don't understand it....
