Yeah...sorry about that. It got pretty busy around here :(
Anyway, I think the thing to check is /proc/cpuinfo where machine
contains "IBM". That should be safe for macs and I'm pretty sure IBM is
in the string for all IBM boxes (including ppc64).

I am starting to hack this now but need to learn a little about the
code. I am hacking and net booting so the cycle isn't too bad. I
worked around the "hole" problem, but now it is still complaining about
bad magic numbers. How does "partition_table_empty.pm" get executed?
Must be indirect...
