"At most one bootloader" is wrong in many situations. On many ARM platforms, you have two bootloaders. A small first stage bootloader, and a full-featured second stage bootloader such as U-Boot or Barebox. On AT91 platforms, you have AT91Bootstrap + U-Boot or Barebox. On some i.MX platforms, you have mxs-bootlets + U-Boot or Barebox. On some OMAP platforms, you have X-Loader + U-Boot. etc, etc. So clearly, we should keep "Bootloaders" in the plural form.
