(rnordier claimed this in i386/2234 in 1999 and it is still in the tree :-) It is only able to boot a.out Kernels (e.g. FreeBSD-3.0), not ELF. (reported by Gerhard Gonter, gonter@wu-wien.ac.at) It may be replaced by this program: http://www.nurs.or.jp/~kurati/bsd/index-en.html which is reported to work with actual kernels.
