this boot0 thing is a part of the firmware. why its redistributability state should influence an OS support? are x86 BIOS parts all redistributable? Is it obtainable? This is that "security world" thing and it will be anywhere where the Security Extension is implemented. I have Pine64+ board and am planning to do my project on it, which is a UEFI implementation. x^D Will be OpenBSD happy if there were UEFI on it as a FW and that boot0 thing is a part of UEFI installation?
