I'm all for it, depending on what you do with it. The bootloader I implemen=
ted for my platform tags every image it writes into flash with a checksum (=
we use MD5, not CRC32, but still), and can keep multiple copies as backup.

Subject: CRC32 feature in FreeBSD's bootloader

Hello,

A few months ago I posted a new feature in the FreeBSD bootloader.
So far I haven't received any comments so I'll try to revive this topic.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D172301&cat=3D
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2012-October/015288.html

It may be of use to somebody. So any comments and suggestions?

Greetings,
Boris Astardzhiev
