The current implementation of load/init-program has some fairly big hacks in order to work around the fact that we don't have per-architecture CPU contexts. An example of this is chained bootloaders used for SPARC64 which use Forth to alter the saved CPU context so that control is returned to a different address by directly executing init-program before return.
With all architectures now able to save/restore CPU contexts, these hacks can now be removed and init-program changed to be a single per-architecture implementation along with some associated tidy-ups.
I've given this a fairly thorough testing across all my OpenBIOS test images and as far as I can tell doesn't cause any regressions.
Requires the previously posted SPARC32 and SPARC64 context patches to be applied first.

That is an impressive amount of work done. Would you have a repo that someone could clone in order to test out your patches?
I've pushed it here: https://github.com/mcayland/openbios/tree/context
Note that PPC mostly just worked as the bootloaders are considerably less complex than the SPARC variants which rely rather heavily on the PROM for boot.
And I've just re-pushed the updated v2 to github too.
Just tested Mac OS 10.4.0 and Mac OS 9.2.1. Both booted without problem. The only change I noticed is I can't open a usb flash drive in Mac OS 9.2 without a freeze taking place. I doubt it is due to your patches.
