So it seems to. Somewhat hard for me to know what the exact problem is,
since I don't know NetBSD internals, and I didn't write mboot.c32, but
I'll try to look at it.
Any help would be appreciated, of course.
Personally, I'd like to have a rewritten mboot.c32 which uses the
shuffle APIs, like elf.c32.
