I've managed to use it to get to the point when FreeBSD complains there
is no network devices to mount root from. The OF_read and OF_write calls
need the ofw_stack. I also allocated a page of real memory that I copy
the string to display to in OF_write and read the input data from in
OF_read. It is not the best fix but it does allow me to work on other
parts of the kernel.
