We are a resource limited boot loader.  We got for a small footprint,
and accept some resulting restrictions, if they are not really severe.
THe printf() restriction has not exactly frequently popped up before,
so I consider it a non-issue.

Best regards,

Once upon a time, "PC" meant "personal computer".  Now  it  seems  to
only  mean  "Prisoner  of Bill". Alas! All my PCs run Unix, and those
include Intel, Sparc, and other processors.
