Agreed. In data structure "bootrec", there is a data array that gets
used once as be32, once as le16, and several times as though it were
in native CPU order. That has always look funny to me, but as I can
only test on x86_64 architecture, I cannot distinguish le32 from
native CPU.

I will prepare a patch to explicitly use those data as le32 for you to
test.

Thanks,

Larry
