Actually, I have a mostly-working converter (from m68k a.out) to loadseg
format. Would be enough to do a translation to a filesystem that doesn't 
want to do more than run once and boot an alien OS. However, as we do have
parition bootblocks, and even know how to install them even despite Phase5's
claim that they aren't supported with their scsi adapters, there is no great
need to implement it. Unless we want to boot from really ancient disk
controllers, maybe.
