In 3.x the only way to do this is to have a special disk label type. I've hacked things to get fla bootable on -stable using this method.

Ideally, the boot blocks/loader should be : taught to boot from something other than wd() or da(). phk's fla driver mount / correctly when it is the boot device. However, the boot loader does have some interesting limitations in this area last time I checked. Likely it was due to using the -stable version for most of my testing.
