Ragge/Michael,

Could you include the printing of a version string at the time the
bootloader starts?  I would find this helpful in discussions about the
bootloader (WRT keeping things straight between which versions have what
problems on which systems). :-)

And then it would be sort of a courtesy to add some specific info to the
version string when people modify the bootloader outside of the NetBSD
repository.  Again, just to simplify tracking these changes and their
behaviors.
