Yes -- OF implementations do tend to be very machine-dependent. I
can remember hearing about this kind of problems, but never actually
experienced them, be it on a G3 or on a 6400.
AFAICR, the general solution at that time was to play around with
load-base/real-base settings in OF, but I never really went into the
details. Ben or other people who actually looked into the assembler
bootcode might have more info on this.

This is a monolithic kernel. I never understood the need for an initrd
once you know your hardware (the benefit is clear for distribution
kernels, however) -- I don't have access to the machine right now, but
I'll post the config tonight.
