Wondering (1) if the existing boot loader is multiboot-compliant, and (2) if
NetBSD plans to support ELF binaries.

In parallel, I'm wondering if ELF binaries give any added functionality
over existing NetBSD shared libs/a.out format.

For those who don't know, ELF is apparently some kind of pseudo-standard
(Solaris & Linux & ?) that basically allows run-time location independence
by doing looking up offsets in a table, as I understand it.
I'm not sure if it's dynamic run-time location independence (e.g. it can
move around in your proc's virtual address space, which seems silly), or
just static independence (i.e. when the shared lib is referenced).
