Problem appears to be nvram corruption.  Reset nvram from Open Firmware

  reset-nvram
  set-defaults
  reset-all

(same procedure commonly used to 'repair' failing firewire and usb ports).

Subsequent attempt to boot 5/3/06 daily image made it to the 'Trying to
im_free...' hang from bug Bug#365844.
