1) If there isn't a CDROM in the drive, trying to do an
ieee1275 open() on a cdroom device hangs nearly indefinitely.
2) If you try to open the bare device "ide/disk" for example (with
no "@X,Y" ID selector) this hangs for 5 seconds then spits out
ugly errors about not being able to read disk labels etc.
So bypass these cases for now, we're only really interested in
the explicitly listed aliases anyways.
As for cdrom grub2 booting, I have some plans for this and I will
look into them after I get some feedback about some details of
OpenBoot from one of my engineering contacts at Sun.
