No, and I am somewhat rabidly against even calling that set of hacks FIRMWORKSBUGS… if for no other reason than the Mac OpenFirmware is NOT the FirmWorks implementation, and it’s a bad name for what it really means … that it’s not a real-mode OpenFirmware implementation.

All of that low-level OF stuff needs to be cleaned up considerably, sigh.
