So, I tried booting the snapshot disk image from Tsubai's FTP server
on a PowerMac 7300/200.  I noticed a couple of things:

* The partition map is incorrect in a few ways which cause MacOS to
get confused, but still allow us to boot.  Notably, although there are
only 2 map entries, the `MapBlkCnt' field (to use the name from the
mac68k .h file) is 5 in both entries.  At some point we need to build
a real partition map editor and installboot(8).

* Unfortunately, I get a machine check at address 19d060, which is the
first mftbu instruction inside delay().

Regardless of the problems, I'd like to commend Tsubai on the swift
progress, and I look forward to seeing the port committed to the main
source tree soon!


BTW, here's the entire output:
