The only thing that it doesn't do which I wish it did was fixup module_path. Right now if you break into the loader prompt and do 'boot foo', you end up with module_path containing "/boot/kernel;/boot/modules;/boot/foo". What I would like is to be able to use 'boot foo' and get a proper module_path. -- John Baldwin
