Where exactly is the needed, i. e. which spoecific situation  do  you
have  in  mind  where  this function cannot be implemented as part of
either a "preboot" or a standard "bootcmd" command sequence?

Niklaus Wirth has lamented that, whereas Europeans pronounce his name
correctly  (Ni-klows  Virt),  Americans  invariably  mangle  it  into
(Nick-les  Worth).  Which  is to say that Europeans call him by name,
but Americans call him by value.
