Or maybe there are zillions of applications booting the kernel directly without the bootloader..
ppcboot for one ... and it only takes one application, if there are "zillions" of people using it :-) Cheers!

PS: it doesn't really matter what the mechanism for passing info to the kernel is, as long as it is an open standard - ppcboot will simply just conform to it. But this will require effort on someone's part so changes shouldn't be done lightly or gratuitously - they should be discussed in the list first and the changes should "add value" (so to speak :-)
