Subject:   Should we test cdboot on 4.5 RC's?

Hmm, does anyone else think it might be worthwhile to MFC the new cdboot
replacement for the broken cdldr code in 4.x.  Then for the RC's we chould ship
two versions of each ISO, one with cdboot as the bootable image and the other
with boot.flp so we can have people test it and see how if cdboot works on most
computers or not?  The only difference in the ISO's is what image is set as
bootable on the mkisofs command line, other than that the images would both
have the same exact file contents.  This might be a good way to test out how
widespread support of no emulation booting is so we can think about switching
to it by default on the ISO's.
