- accepts a single command-line parameter that can be used to set
currdev
e.g. 0 > boot enet:,loader hd:13
or more usefully
0 > boot hd:,loader hd:12
- fixed bug where a file offset > 4G was being truncated
- a colon wasn't being accepted as an indication of an OpenFirmware
device. The symptom was that /etc/fstab wasn't being read in,
resulting in the mountroot> prompt always popping up.
This also allows device aliases to be used for disk specifiers
at the loader prompt e.g.
OK ls hd:12/boot
later,
Peter.
