Mitch, it looks like the real issue here, then, is that OFW doesn't
continue to look for develop.sig on other devices once it's found one
which doesn't work.  If it had, then the presence of a bogus
develop.sig on SD wouldn't have preventing OFW from finding the
correct develop.sig on NAND and booting the system correctly.

That sounds like a bug we can fix.
