the attached patch allows to boot using "boot hd:%BOOT". This is the method used by OldWorld bootloader, Quik.
As I've only tested it with PPC target, I'd like to have some comments before commiting it (If someone can test sparc, I'll be happy).

Excellent. I never could figure out how to fix this to elliminate the ugly hack that was the QUIK support before. I had to do nasty things to maintain compatiblity with the hack when I modified the quik bootloader a few months ago. Now I could get rid of those hacks and make the code nice and clean again.
So this I assume will make the oldworld mac emulation boot QUIK the proper way rather than by being hardcoded to look for the QUIK boot sector at a certain offset. I should give it a try.
