Comment (by mmu_man):

Btw I fixed a bug on the COFF loader creation, no wonder it never really
worked, this ugly format's concept of "entry point" is a pointer to the
actual entry code, so it always started with a bad address.
Now it starts on my Performa 5400/180, although it complains that CLAIM
fails.

For those wanting to try on old Macs, the same notes as for NetBSD apply
(about device paths, screen output…):
http://www.netbsd.org/ports/macppc/models.html
Also remember the FAT implementation in OF only seems to know about 8.3
names, so better rename the loader as "haiku.xcf" or something if using a
floppy.
