Actually, i think i was being stupid when i suggested that it should.

I _really_ don't like the idea of firmware (which is what MILO is)
understanding the file system type.  I'd rather just have it load a
file from certain disk sectors, like SRM console does, and provide
callbacks for that file to do its own I/O to load the kernel or
whatever else is appropriate.
