Currently OpenBIOS sets the bootpath to something like /pci/foo/bar 
instead of /address@hidden/address@hidden/address@hidden, and during a bit of experimentation 
it seems like the Darwin bootpath parser doesn't like the former form 
which results in a slightly "garbled" form displayed during boot.

I did look at fixing this a while back, but I couldn't work out exactly 
how to get this to work with auto-detected partitions (i.e. how would we 
handle the package arguments in this case?). Other than that, the path 
isn't particularly relevant as long as it matches the QEMU device model.
