Hmm ... I downloaded 4.7.20 and it wasn't aware there are two 4.7.20's :-)

  770z% pwd
  /usr/home/ambrisko/etherboot-4.7.20/src
  770z% grep bi_kernelname *.c
  osloader.c:        const unsigned char     *bi_kernelname;
  osloader.c:                     info.bsdinfo.bi_kernelname = kernel;
  osloader.c:                     info.bsdinfo.bi_kernelname = KERNEL_BUF;

Well he is working on improving it ... it is already ported to FreeBSD.
And yes we are working together.  He has some ideas to make things better
as do I (ie. if compiling on FreeBSD then turn on FreeBSD kernel support).
I will probably put it together early next week and post them.  It won't
help rom-a-matic but it is easy enough to just enable the FreeBSD options
in that.
