Yes, if I remember right. I was able to do anything up to the boot command...
include is allways there btw. Its implemented using libstand funtionality and 
wrapped into a FORTH word later on..

NB: Because on amd64 the loader gets compiled as a i386 binary I produced there 
a i386 userland binary too because it was simpler to implement. Shouldn't matter 
for bootforth testing purposes.
