To clarify: you now support two forms of boot1, but you haven't changed boot1
to this new form, so why bother?  I would rather you kill DD in boot1,
disklabel, and sysinstall in 5.x for now with a ntoe from the kernel about it
being deprecated and then desupport it in 6.x.

Bah, nm, I lost the commit to boot1.s in my mail server's little fiasco
yesterday.  I still vote that we just kill DD mode.
