I know OF supports it, but AFAICT it has never been part of our installation
procedure (and there are no traces in -current or older sysinst sources
of it). So what am I missing? [Serious question - I have been trying to
improve sysinst for macppc and mac68k (have some uncommited parts), but
I obviously miss some parts of the big picture or some things don't work
as they are supposed to that make this quite hard and fail empirical
testing - so any hints welcome]

Isn't the bootloader going into a special APM part and supposed to do all
magic by itself?
