>Description:
ofwboot.xcf built from -current causes my G4/733 (quicksilver) to
fail to load the kernel. after printing info about text/data sizes,
etc., it displays a failure to "CLAIM" (i have not written down the
error message yet) and doesn't work. 1.6.1 ofwboot.xcf works fine.
>How-To-Repeat:
notice that your very old ofwboot.elf needs updating because it was
passing bogus symbol data (causing ksyms_init() to crash.) update it
to the most handy you have (a recent -current build.) see it go boom.
try 1.6.1 and see it work fine.
