Well, it didn't work.

I did the update to the 4.1.8 BootROM, and my PowerBook (FireWire) no
longer boots NetBSD 1.5.1 (final, non-BETA).  You guys gotta help me, since
I can't easily work on the documentation without this machine.

Symptoms:
ofwboot.xcf loads fine, clears screen, and the big wscons font prints:
Console keyboard type: ADB
[ preserving 197092 bytes of netbsd ELF symbol table ]

Then it hangs.

The exact same hardware booted the exact same kernel 15 minutes ago.

What can I do?
