Lets also consider the case of a root partition exists on a device which the BIOS does not support, but DOS and FreeBSD do. A good example of this may be a SCSI controller without a BIOS, or maybe a network style load. A person could have just the kernel on the DOS parition, or have the driver for the device loaded and boot off of it that way.
