Cobalt's firmware uses bootp to get server's IP and its own IP, and
then it reads a specified bootfile via NFS from a directory passed
via "nfsroot=/path/to/nfsdir" arg, it seems.

NetBSD's MI standalone library (sys/lib/libsa) has already had
supports of both bootp and NFS so I just use them for the bootloader
to load a kernel.
