The old definitions in pdc.h were:

	#define PDC_SYSMAP_FIND         0       /* find module by index */
	#define PDC_SYSMAP_ADDR         1
	#define PDC_SYSMAP_HPA          2       /* same as PDC_MEMMAP_HPA */

where the first two are at least questionable and the third is simply
wrong.

For shure you have read PDC Procedures, p 4-78:

	Arguments:	Description	ARG1
	----------	-----------	----
			Find Module	0
			Find Address	1
			Translate Path	2

resulting in new definitions in pdc.h:

	#define PDC_SYSMAP_FINDMOD      0       /* find module by index */
	#define PDC_SYSMAP_FINDADDR     1       /* find address */
	#define PDC_SYSMAP_XLATPATH     2       /* translate path */

Please read PDC Procedures, p 4-25:

	systat	System state
	------	------------
	...
	011	Initialize
	...

which resulted in the change in pdc.h from 

	#define PDC_OSTAT_BOOT  0x3     /* boot program running */

to

	#define	PDC_OSTAT_INIT	0x3	/* initalize */

which makes even more sense to someone who actually looks at the
LCD display on a K for chassis code 0xCEC0 which reads "INIT CEC0"
and _not_ "BOOT CEC0" on the display. There are simply no "BOOT"
chassis codes.

Have a look at the Kxxx chassis codes, K-Service Manual, pp 4-1,
where you will find an INIT Ostat but nowhere a BOOT Ostat.
