it wasn't the cause for failed cdrom boots on ip2x, but it steered me in the
right direction.

for reasons that are very unclear, on ip2x bootloaders, the first byte in
each struct is initialized to zero (but not subsequent bytes).  this plays
merry hell with the bootinfo infrastructure.  this does not happen when the
same bootloader is invoked from disk, nor does it happen under any circumstances
on ip32.

as we ignore the bootinfo data anyway (and, indeed, was actually ifdef'd out
before i reworked it for cdrom boots awhile back), i've disabled it.

cdrom boots (and therefore cdrom installation) now work on ip2x.
