I took the quickie sledgehammer approach and replaced every instance of A9
04 8D EB B7 (there were a surprising number of them, like 7 or 8) with A9 FE
8D EB B7 instead, and also changed the volume number in the VTOC. This
totally failed to work for booting, with the same black-screen-drive-off
symptom we've seen before; I didn't try it for disk checking once loaded and
running. So there's more to it, or there's more code checksumming, or
something.
