Just a little sidenote:
Plan9 uses a trimmed-down Kernel as bootloader, which gives interesting
opportunities (eg. using various services like filesystems, shells, etc
in the bootloader).
With modern bootloaders like Barebox, the need for that IMHO isn't
that huge anymore. OTOH, there're still several things, I'd wish to
have available in the bootloader (eg. iscsi- or bnlkdev support).
Anyone here, who uses a Linux kernel as bootloader / preboot
environment ?
