This hack was needed because we were using the IBM bootscript (ppc/bootinfo.txt)
with an HFS+ filesystem (whereas bootscript was using ISO9660 partition number)
The newworld_boot() function uses now the Apple bootscript (suseboot/os-chooser)
with the correct partition number.

on the full disk. We accept partition number 0 (which identifies the full
disk) and partition number 1 (we can see the disk as only one partition).
This is needed to boot openSUSE install CD which uses
"&device;:1,\suseboot\yaboot.ibm" as its boot path.
There is a Mac partition map on the CD, but
partition 1 is the partition map itself, and thus is not usable by a filesystem.
So we can guess, openFirmware must use ISO9660 instead of HFS and thus
to not use the Mac partition map, but the whole CD for the partition #1.
