Turns out the patch will be more difficult than I thought. The shell
script ofpathname is written for bash. It bails out with error when
using dash. So I suspect this is a no-go for using ofpathname during
installation.
Would it be possible to make pmac-utils mandatory package, and steal
ofpath from yaboot onto pmac-utils package instead ?
