 ah, i guess i never sent this info to the PR.
 
 a short while ago i tested building a kernel with FIRMWORKSBUG
 option enabled.  this gives a different failure mode -- but
 unfortunately it hangs hard instead of giving you the prom.
 
 so the problem may be related to openfirmware() on these
 systems.
