It appears that the old comment contained some information about how
booting and especially address resolution works on 4xx.  Is there some
way to keep this (non-obvious, at least to me) information, instead of
just deleting it?

He who hesitates is not only lost, but miles from the next exit.

The old comment was really screwed up. I'll send a patch with a (hopefully) 
better description shortly.

Cheers,
Stefan
