The "load-base" environment variable? Tried that, but without success.
AFAIK an ELF file's segments will automatically loaded to the address
defined in the program header?

ofwboot already has a load address of 0x20000. And changing the load address
of the kernel to 0x20000 would be bad for ofwboot. ;)

OF_chain() copies the kernel down to 0x20000? But this should be no problem,
as ofwboot is no longer needed after that? I would have guessed that the
kernel is executed at 0x100000, though.

BTW, I already had large GENERIC kernels three days ago, before doing "cvs
update". And they worked. :|

Now, even a minimal kernel fails...

When I find the time, I will debug it tomorrow.
