We are trying to merge NetBSD  and Mach boot sequences. I wanted
some advice from people who might be trying to patch NetBSD to
load it above 1M.

Question 1) Is  howto used in NetBSD for anything? from loadprog(howto)

Question 2) Has anyone calculated the text, bss, data, and symbol offsets
	for > 1M?  That is Are you going to want things a specific
	locations.

Question 3) Which args do you need? and why?

Thanks in advance
