>How-To-Repeat:
with Ada.Text_Io;

procedure bootloader is
   procedure Boot;

   pragma Machine_Attribute (
                             Entity => Boot,
                             Attribute_Name => "section ("".bootloader"")"
                            );

   procedure Boot
   is
   begin
      Ada.Text_Io.Put_line("Boot");
   end;


begin
   Ada.Text_Io.Put_line("Test");
end;
