#9365: Unable to boot on Thunderbolt-equipped Macs

Apple Macintoshes with Thunderbolt ports (2011 and later models) are
unable to boot Haiku.
Using ReFit as the boot manager, selecting the Haiku partition results in
either a hung "other os" boot icon, or a black screen with white text
"Unable to find boot device" (or similar). This applies to both my MacBook
laptop and my Mac Mini desktop, whether attempting to boot from USB stick,
CD, or internal disk partition.
This has been true for all alpha versions of Haiku I have tried, and is
not new with alpha 4.
For reference, this was an issue with all Linux distros as well when these
machines were first released, but a quick internet search shows that Linux
now has either a workaround or a full solution. I expect the issue stems
from changes in the OpenFirmware disk controller.
