For interim macppc installcd builds, I'll also add
src/tools/macppc_installboot before reorganizing complicated
Apple partition map stuff in src/usr.sbin/installboot/arch/macppc.c.

I've also managed to create a bootable macppc disk using
Apple partition map on my OpenFirmware 2.x Apus2000/200:
 https://gist.github.com/tsutsui/f1f81e194eb2ff1eda6fda4b1bb84d25
so I think we can switch macppc port using Apple partition map
(without BSD disklabel) by default as mac68k, but this is another
macppc specific topic.
