Since early November (and up to and including an issue reported on
-current yesterday), all apparent show-stopping problems with the
new bootblocks have turned out to be due to configuration and/or
pilot errors: where it has been possible to get further details.

So if anyone still can't use the new bootblocks, there's almost
certainly some simple and painless solution which doesn't require
code fixes to sort out; and anyone who needs help is more than
welcome to contact me.
