The fact that 1.10 works fine if I boot it directly from a CD makes me 
think it has something to do with where and how bootxx is transferring 
control to ofwboot. For instance, if I do set default real-base, 
reset-all and then try to boot, I don't get a default catch anymore, 
but the kernel freezes while printing magic numbers.
