For future reference... The boot loader (which reads everything after the
first file specification) has much stricter syntax for parsing devices and
paths than OF does.  Also the directory separator is / for the boot loader
and \ for OF.

... oh yes, and the boot loader has an "exit" command to get back to OF, but
I had to look in the source to find it.
