Hi John,

I've encounted way too many machines already with BIOSes that clash with
the regular btx loader... :(

Might it not be a nice idea to put out a RELENG_7 or RELENG_7_0 bootonly
CD image with this patch applied?  I'm sure many people won't be able to
build this themselves, but they could just download a prebuilt image to
test booting. :)
