I should also note that to boot from the disk, I did have to set the
boot-device explicitly.  I think this is a bug in the boot blocks.

I.e.,
0 > setenv boot-device /AAPL,ROM
0 > boot ata/ATA-Disk@0:0

failed with:
OF_open bootpath=/AAPL,ROM
read stage 2 blocks: 01234567. done!
starting stage 2...
DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFF00600 at   %SRR0: 00600000  %SRR1: 00003070

while
0 > setenv boot-device ata/ATA-Disk@0:0
0 > boot 

worked.  I don't think the bootpath should have been /AAPL,ROM in this
case.  The command line should override the boot-device, I think.
