This applies both to the bootblocks (boot1 and > boot2) and to /boot/loader. I think I poorly worded what I meant to say earlier... nothing in sys/i386/boot seems to work with elf. For now I built a aout kernel, catted it with /usr/mdec/rawboot to a floppy and I'm happy :-) If nobody else has looked at updating rawboot, I guess I'll take it on myself to figure it out between semesters in school later this month. Sorry for the inconvience I might have caused.
