Well one of the Forth words that it tries to execute is rmap at . According 
to the OpenBOOT command reference, it looks like this:

rmap@  ( virt -- rmentry ) - Returns the region map entry for the 
virtual address.

I have no idea what a region map is though; there is mention of MMU 
region map sizes (based upon page table level) in the v8 architecture 
manual, but nothing concrete enough to tell me what the above Forth word 
should actually do...


ATB,

Mark.
