Comment(by wmb at firmworks.com):

 Try http://dev.laptop.org/~wmb/q2e44e.rom .  It sets up the BIOS Data
 Area, including location 0x413.  Previous versions of OFW did not bother
 to set up the BDA for Linux (they did set it up for Windows) because,
 since time immemorial, Linux did not care about the contents of the BDA.
