You're right.
Strange though that BootX gives this kind of weird behaviour (2.2.15pre14
works fine for me).
I'll report about yaboot soon.
You "think" it worked right, but I'm pretty sure that if you do an
extensive memory testing, you'll discover that random bits of memory are
damaged and that the kernel is actually not fully reliable when booting
with BootX.
