     - Integrate our cdboot/mfsroot-based boot process into the cdrom setup.
 
   - UDEBfiscate a few packages:
-    - kfreebsd: maybe similar to linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6 ?
-    - kfreebsd-loader: get it to build first :P
-      Alternatively, fix grub to a point in which kfreebsd-loader is no
-      longer needed.

     - freebsd-utils
       - freebsd-utils itself
       - kldutils
       - net-tools: get it to build first :P
     - ufsutils
 
+  - kfreebsd:
+    - Either use 6.x (with all the tinyfication fixes), or backport these fixes
+    to 5.x.
+    - Network drivers are still built into the kernel!  In order to split them,
+    we need:
+      - hotplug: not hard to port, just a set of scripts (the I/O is done by
+      pciutils/usbutils, and we have both in working state).
+      - discover: not too hard either.  Just rewrite the functions in
+      sysdep/linux/pci.c to use libpci.a instead of /proc.  The rest are ok
+      with stubs for now (we basicaly only care about PCI nics ;).
+
   - os-prober: detect GNU/kFreeBSD !
 
   - net-cfg: includes Linux-specific cruft.  teach it to use ifconfig et al
     from an external package?
 
   - partman: Should support bsd disklabels?  I'm not sure how we can do this
-  without needing to severely modify the UI.

   - debootstrap
 
   - grub: (we can use kfreebsd-loader temporarily instead)
-    - direct loading (with acpi.ko and initrd support)
+    - direct loading (with acpi.ko and initrd support. argh!)
     - proper ufs2 support
