Odd. Other than the specific device, your "non-working" entry and my "working
entry" are identical. I'm running Picasso. Also, here's what I have for
loaders:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 204 Mar 4 1996 any_b.b
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 204 Mar 4 1996 any_d.b
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 Mar 13 1996 boot.0803
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 3708 Mar 4 1996 boot.b
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 88 Mar 4 1996 chain.b
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 192 Mar 4 1996 os2_d.b
