That is on the todo list to possibly change.  However, the bug appears to b=
e=20
in the ufs(4) driver in libstand, not in the forth stuff (or lack thereof).=

Certain test loaders that I build choke after reading in the first 48k (Get=
 a=20
bogus EOF it seems) of the mfsroot.gz.aa file.  Once I track this down I wi=
ll=20
commit what I have now.  Then I will work on going back to a stock loader a=
nd=20
probably sticking an acpi.ko.gz on the boot floppy as well.
