Note that these changes just bring across cdboot.  The plan is to test out
support by producing two ISO's for each RC.  If it is found that cdboot doesn't
work on a lot of machines, then we will stick with boot.flp for CD booting. 
cdboot will then still be available to those making custom distributions
however, such as a picoBSD that boots off of a CD, or a mini live-fs CD that
boots and runs.
