 This is subtle:  it claims it can run i386 binaries (and it's true), but
 it doesn't claim to boot off an i386 userland (far from it actually).
 
 It'd be interesting to know exactly what is happening though.  I don't
 know if it is the project's goal, but my work on COMPAT_NETBSD32 aims at
 doing this eventually.  Still a long way, though.
