[...] I don't know whether it's OpenBIOS or Qemu, or the exception happens before the -H argument can take place, but "boot cdrom -H" doesn't seem to have any effect - I get exactly the same behavior whether I use the -H flag or not. I'll take a look at the rest of your debugging tips and try to put them to use - thanks!!
I suspect it's not failing *before* checking for -H, just that the check isn't working.
Try creating a property in chosen called "bootargs" containing "-H" before giving the boot command. Maybe OpenBios is doing something different with boot arguments. E.g.:
ok dev /chosen ok " -H" encode-string " bootargs" property ok boot <stuff>
