I strongly believe that the elf kernel should have a different name..
e.g. /FreeBSD
this will ensure that only new bootblocks will find it and old bootblocks
will find the old kernel lying about.
this may save some people some grief.

linking /kernel as another name of /loader would allow old bootblocks to
keep working.
