The problem happens if you tell the ofw "boot" command to boot from
pciide, not if you tell ofwboot to boot from pciide. (Well, maybe it
happens in both cases.)

But I don't think it has anything to do with the close routine in
ofwboot, because if you look carefully, you'll note that it doesn't
actually get used: the MI loadfile routine opens the kernel file, but
returns the file descriptor for the MD boot program to close itself,
which ofwboot never does. I was going to fix that bug once, but then
discovered that if I did close it, it made my SCSI card stop working.
