I understand... Didn't know that worms could attach to the bootloader :-)
Well, then even fixing this in the bootloader would be too late, if the worm
could simply replace the bootloader. I guess it's not a kernel-issue then and
should really be addressed in the boot-up sequence (as long as BIOS vendors
fail to fix it), be it with or without initrd.
