 I ran into this issue from current from a few days ago.  I'm using a
 powermac 7500/604, and couldn't boot ofwboot

 loading .textDEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFF00300 
  ok
 
 7.1 worked fine for me though:

 loading .text, done..

 clearing .bss, done..
 
 
 Neither versions (current or 7.1) of the ofwboot.elf worked for me.
 
 I haven't had time to look at this, but I may have had a similar issue
 before
   http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-macppc/2014/12/23/msg002129.html
 but <matt> did some magic fixing the linker script, maybe the problem is
 similar.
 
 Thanks
