I'm currently on 4.5.0 for SPARC64 and 4.3.2 for PPC.

I bet that's due to the parsing of the load argument. I took a hint from 
the CHRP spec which says that the partition id should be parsed from the 
load argument so that just the filename is passed down to the next 
level, which in this case is misc-files.

My assumption is that load arguments are based upon the following form:

- single digit partition id (0-9, a-f)
- comma
- path

where the partition id and comma are optional. My first guess would be 
that this assumption is somehow wrong...

ATB,

Mark.
