Why not in the img target? This means that for some people it won't 
generate a bootable img file. Not something we want!

I have no clue what exactly packet mode is (boot loaders are all ugly 
legacy stuff), but it it works on more machines than without packet 
mode, I'd argue to turn it on in the img target by default and have an 
option to generate a non-packet-mode image.
