We don't need the 56 bytes at the end of bootinfo, and never had. Don't copy them from old boot loaders, and don't provide them with new boot loaders. Add comments about what versions of FreeBSD 'old' means in various contexts. Add note that old disk loader (from 1.x/2.x) is doomed to failure because it doesn't provide metadata that we now require to boot, and has been since approximately FreeBSD 7.x. Retain all this information to explain why we have 4 arguments that are always 0, even though it's ancient history. This saves 56 bytes in the boot loader.
