Was just looking/messing around and found out that the netbsd/i386
"dosboot.com" can load and boot a freebsd elf kernel.

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5_ALPHA2/i386/installation/misc/

FreeBSD lost this functionality (IIRC) when it moved to elf and the dos
loader in /sys/boot/biosboot never got updated to understand elf images.
