I'm *finally* converting some of my sparc systems to -current for 
testing, and that means converting from a.out to ELF. The old booter 
will not boot an ELF kernel. But will the new one boot both an ELF 
kernel and an a.out kernel? That way, I can install the new booter, 
and test both new and old kernels...

This should be in the sparc FAQ. It's not the last question we're 
going to get about a.out to ELF conversion.

	thanks,
