BTW. Corruption looks like bi_recs... ie, broken yaboot. This was fixed
recently, yaboot would eventually crap over the kernel for certain sizes
of the kernel image.

0x1010 = BI_FIRST
0x1013 = BI_BOOTLOADER_ID followed by 0x7961626f6f74 which is
"yaboot" :-)
0x1016 = BI_MACHTYPE

etc...

Cheers,
Ben.
