That todo list was last edited almost three years ago, I think the situation could be a bit different. IIRC debootstrap was recently fixed, and 5.x kernels are no more taken into account wrt libparted. When I last looked at it, I was a bit puzzled about bogl, framebuffer and the support in kfreebsd. How would we like to proceed, and how gtk +directfb actually stands there? I'm also curious about syslinux support, or which other cdbootloader to use.
