Will do at some point (problem with moving too much to do, so little time :)

I believe that the new bootloader from Reinoud takes the same command line 
args as the old one.  The only potential difference is that the new one needs 
a wimpslot entry in the fastboot file that the frontent generates.

Any objections to the suggestion this is put into the src tree somewhere, yes 
I know it doesn't build within netbsd, but still be better to track changes 
to it somewhere?
