Ok, I was able to build a new ofwboot with those changes and by adding
-DNETBOOT to the Makefile and got ofwboot to load and run the kernel.
The kernel stops at the "root device:" and by giving it hme0 I can get
to a singleuser prompt. :-) It is getting better. :-)

I have one question, what can I do so that the kernel won't stop at
the "root device:" prompt? Should ofwboot send some parameter?
