On my G4 Powerbook, a 7 Dec 2003 kernel will not load /sbin/init. It
fails with error 12 (ENOMEM).  I can still boot a weeks-old kernel.

I thought that I might need a more up-to-date ofwboot.xcf, so I upgraded
the version I installed 5 Oct 2002 to the 7 Dec 2003 version. That did
not help.  Regardless which kernel I try to boot, I do not get far with
the new ofwboot.xcf:

What should I try next?
