This means that the prom "/chosen/bootpath" property could not be matched
against the devices we detected. Your machine should print the bootpath
very early on boot, straight after the copyright and memory lines. What
does it look like? On my U2 it is:

 bootpath: /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@0,0
