Right, that's why there's someone doing an evaluation of the NetBSD
startup code to see how well it will work for exactly this sort of
situation.  Until that evaluation/proof of concept is complete, it
would be premature to talk about changes to the FreeBSD system since
the NetBSD one already copes with exactly this sort of situation.
