System: NetBSD what-time-is-love.eterna.com.au 1.6T NetBSD 1.6T (_what_) #120: Sat May 31 22:39:43 EST 2003 mrg@what-time-is-love.eterna.com.au:/var/sys/_what_ macppc
Architecture: powerpc
Machine: macppc
>Description:

	ofwboot.xcf built from -current causes my G4/733 (quicksilver) to
	fail to load the kernel.  after printing info about text/data sizes,
	etc., it displays a failure to "CLAIM" (i have not written down the
	error message yet) and doesn't work.  1.6.1 ofwboot.xcf works fine.

>How-To-Repeat:

	notice that your very old ofwboot.elf needs updating because it was
	passing bogus symbol data (causing ksyms_init() to crash.)  update it
	to the most handy you have (a recent -current build.)  see it go boom.
	try 1.6.1 and see it work fine.
