I suspect it's not failing *before* checking for -H, just that the check
isn't working.
Try creating a property in chosen called "bootargs" containing "-H"
before giving the boot command. Maybe OpenBios is doing something
different with boot arguments. E.g.:
ok dev /chosen
ok " -H" encode-string " bootargs" property
ok boot <stuff>
