>Description:
      according to boot(8) man page, 'it is possible to dispense with
the third stage altogether'.  however, 'hitting a key' and specyfing
'0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel' results in hard hang (impossible to
reboot with crtl-alt-del) at spinner (/-\|).  booting '0:ad(0,a)/boot/
loader' works ok.

State-Changed-When: Thu Oct 26 12:12:47 UTC 2006 
State-Changed-Why:  
In this particular release this is supported, but you need 
the hints for syscons and probably atkbd* to make it work. 
It's possible to compile the hints statically into a kernel.
