No. You need a newer ofwboot.xcf. Last week, I checked in Makefile changes=
=20
which should fix this. I just (not 5 minutes ago) bumped the version in=20
ofwboot to 1.8, so we'll be able to track if folks have a new ofwboot or=20
not.

Can you compile -current? If so, build a new ofwboot and install it=20
(using installboot).
