Not yet.  *In theory* it should look the same from a user perspective,
but the kernel loader is now modern (the old linux.c32 is now the *only*
loader).  One major difference that you might notice is that the console
stays in graphics mode longer after vesamenu has been used; we might
switch to the graphics console as the only console.

For now, I am mostly concerned about avoiding regressions, though.
