Yep, oldworld miboot floppies is my personal goal for Oldenbourg. If someone
would be so nice and dissassemble me the miboot boot sector, and try to
decrypt the rom calls made in it, we could even clean-room reimplement it, and
thus move miboot to contrib, and try building it with gcc instead of
codewarrior, then it could even go to main.
