Well, let's be practical.  Is there any alternative?  If the firmware 
insists on loading something from an ext2 filesystem, you don't have a 
lot of choice.  So write a tiny boot2 that lives in a tiny ext2 
filesystem, and knows how to find a FreeBSD filesystem and the loader. 
Then you can pretend that the ext2 filesystem isn't there. 8)
