Actually, now that I've said this, I'm not sure if it's right, as I'm not
100% sure if the booter uses the PROM to load the kernel or the loadfile()
code.  If the PROM is used to load the kernel into memory, we probably have
the same issue (ECOFF required).

All this before my first coffee and without looking at the code, so YMMV 8-)
