Let me revisit this, as I do wonder how closely related this is.

When you say you couldn't get ofwboot to load, but could with
ofwboot.xcf, what formatting was the partition you were trying to load
from? IN the case I was using, the partition was PC, but I was running
into "bad address to DMA-MAP-IN" with the bootloader sometimes.
