I decided to see if 1.4.2_ALPHA could read enough of an Apple partition map
for me to get dual-booting of the local disk hobbling. I've got something
working now, which still depends on netbooting ofwboot.elf, but by choice;
"boot enet:0" is a lot simpler than the boot path for an HFS volume.
I still need to build a new ofwboot.elf with the right path compiled in,
now that I know what device node and partition the boot disk ended up at.

Anyway, ever since I first ran ofwboot.elf, netbsd uses the same display
resolution as the glonk-OF openfirmware console does, and when I go into
X11 this apparently means 640x480.

Previously the kernel used a higher resolution and also used a much larger
console font (I fondly call this font "the sun console font" because for
all I know, the sun firmware people invented it).

Anyone recognize this phenomenon?
