Have you found the resolution ? I believe you don't need boot block
on the second argument at boot command. It is just a root partition
for the kernel.

Emmanuel> But is ofwboot.xcf able to read an apple partition map?
I belive new code should understand the map.

If you have not found the answer, 
and as a last resort,
have new ofwboot.elf included in boot.fs
(I believe at least 1.5K stuff has it),
 and type

0> boot fd:0 -a
Boot: ata/ata-disk@0:0

?
