Maybe I should have qualified that.. :-)

By "current boot code" I meant "not a 3 stage boot."  I was under the
impression that cramped space in the current set would preclude the
addition of slice-aware code to it.

If I was wrong about that, then all I can say is "great!  please, when!"

Thanks..
