Define "bootable" :-)

a) The Amiga port supports (currently) two different machines: all 
sorts of Amigas (which boot from floppies) and DraCos, which don't. Never.

b) Last time I was really working on this, the NetBSD bootblock floppy version
didnt fit by a couple of bytes. With EGCS, this might have changed.
