Yes. But as we need an FFS to boot from anyway, even if we had a two-stage
(what formerly was called one-stage) boot, this can't be mended.

Ok, a loader program will help here, too. But:
As our toolchain will need to create a.out anyway, this doesn't buy us much.
Instead of converting, or ld -format a.out-ing, the kernel, we do it with
the loader program.

About choosing the loaded program name: this can be done from OFW, too. Can
we "ls" from OFW?
