Today I tested my Powerstack II, which runs FirmWorks. It shows exactly the
same code for getprop and copy-out as your emulated FirmWorks machine, and
ofwboot 1.12 made it crash. I didn't remember that, but I probably just used
an older ofwboot version to continue my tests in the past.

The new ofwboot with a 128K stack fixes it, so I committed the code and bumped
the version to 1.13.


Now I also wanted to test a recent kernel on it, but it fails very early
while attaching the cpu. I'm sure it went further in the past and listed
all devices, before a problem with PCI I/O- or Mem-space made it unusable.
