Please note that graphical loaders are not very serial console
friendly ;-)

Yes!  Real computers have RS-232 consoles.  And please stick with
plain ASCII text.  The current bootloader is at best ugly and at
worst unusable on some terminals.  AFAIK the bootloader doesn't have
termcap/terminfo available.

The default needs to work everywhere. A bootloader does not need to be pretty. If you want a pretty bootloader, put it off to the side and those who both can
and want to run it can enable it once the basics are running.
