It is not resolved by ofwboot-1.5, but I was able to get the 1.5V
kernel to boot, and rebuild a stripped down -current kernel.  After a
ton of "internal compiler errors" I have a working 1.5Y kernel. :)

It seems to be an issue with GENERIC, even with the ofwboot v1.5.
I will build a new -current ofwboot and test it.  I will also see if a
1.5Y GENERIC works any different than the 1.5X.
