Hmm. Just did a "cvs diff -D 'last week' -D 'today'" to see the
differences.

The major change that affects all platforms is the split up of the
first stage loader in a machine dependent and a machine independent
part, but that shouldn't bite you with reblob because we use blob-chain
in that case. I tested the new first stage loader on LART and Assabet
and it shouldn't break any platform because it is functionally the same
(it only moves the code around).

The other major change I can see is the parameter block stuff. Both
LART and Assabet have PARAM_START not defined, so the ptag stuff
doesn't get executed on those platforms. Could you comment out
parse_ptag() in main() and see if that fixes your problem?
