There's no one embedded setup on any platform, but one of the few constants of embedded development is trying to eliminate unnecessary requirements. Just on standard-ish PC hardware I've seen people try to stick Linux in the BIOS flash (generally not enough room), I've seen people try to stick it as the first stage PXE payload, there's the fun and games with kexec of emergency kernels for crash dumps... If the capability to skip an unnecessary bootloader was available, people would use it.
