The 1st stage loader just resets the prom before the kernel load.
Can anyone else confirm this? You don't even need to elfrdsetroot(8) to
test. Just compile bsd.rd with MINIROOTSIZE=16384. I've been using 32768
on my 4.0 systems for the bsd-appliance project.
I've tested it on an AMD Athalon, an AMD Geode, and a VMWare machine.

PS:
Also, am I imagining this:
.if !${IDENT:M-DI386_CPU}
CMACHFLAGS= -march=i486
.else
CMACHFLAGS=
.endif
Somewhere this logic must be getting short-circuited in my config. I'm
seeting "-march=i486".
