That's rather early. What's in the available property under /memory?
Or rather, could you post the entire OF device tree, and maybe just
/memory with 1GB enabled?

The only references to /openboot I could find are in ofwboot, which
should be long done at that point, and sys/dev/ofw/ofw_sysctl.c, which
tries to set up sysctl nodes with model and version info. Since qemu
uses its own OF variant - does /openboot exist? Does OF_fiinddevice()
return something weird on failure?

IIRC that comes directly from the clock-frequency property under /cpus/*

Most of my macppcs have a lot more than 256MB.
