I built ofwboot locally with the change.  I have to do the dance do the "1 1f lshift not dec!" dance to get past the decrement exception, but I still end up with "Invalid memory access at   %SRR0: 00000000 %SRR1: 00083030".  Doesn't matter if I load ofwboot.elf or ofwboot.xcf.

I'm attempting to load the NetBSD 8.0 INSTALL kernel, which I've copied to the same HFS+ partition as the boot loader.
