 Perhaps it has been rectified since, but I did indeed have the
 required patches in the nvramrc; typically firmware-based boot issues
 manifest in not being able to boot anything at all, not an issue later
 on the sequence. As for whether I can still reproduce it or not, I
 will have to doublecheck later.
