Please correct me if I'm wrong while I'm drawing the picture:
Since pc98 only has a specialized boot2 and thus shares boot0 and boot1
with other architectures, it can be assumed that an ELF boot2 doesn't
need any special hacking in boot0 and/or boot1, right?
boot2 is already capable of loading ELF, right?
Isn't it therefore enough to just compile boot2 as ELF?
In other words, what are the problems?
