 nicely found.
 
 so, the problem is that the boot cpu is not the first cpu, and
 we don't handle that right.  good job, us :)
 
 hopefully this isn't too hard to figure out.  i remember we had
 to do something for it on sparc long long ago, when you could
 ask the prom to switch cpu, and booting from that cpu would mean
 the boot cpu was not the first cpu.
